What jets are you guys running with a 1050 dominator. I took out the 88 jets and put in a set of 84 Jets. I am wondering if I made a mistake.

I did this because my 780 vac sec carb on my 454 chevelle has 76-82 jets and it likes those.

I thought there is no way I need 88 jets and a 5.5 PV was I wrong??

Thanks

Which list number is your Dominator?
With 88's stock, I assume it has no power valves.
Holley got the jets dang close as delivered. Carbs are jetted according to the carb size, not the engine size.

Which carb? what manifold?

The list is 8896-2 on an edelbrock singleplane manifold. The carb was shipped with 88 jets and the power valve. ... Should I return it to original???


Thanks Milan

Yes,
I'd start with the factory baseline, and tweak from there.

Well I put the 88s in an it was horrible. I could not get it out of the 12s from a previous best of 11.87. All the incrementals were down as well. I put the 84s back in. I will see what it does next Tuesday. Keep ya'll posted. Any comments welcome.

Typically when comparing a larger carb to a smaller one, the larger will almost always need larger jets due to the decreased air velocity.
