Actually, the only FE I have running right now is in my truck, and it's not setup that way. Still the original engine :) Also, I havent actually put this into practice yet. It's mearly second hand knowledge from many individuals that I've been gleening over the last year or so.

I'm not sure of sizes, in holley jets, so bear with me. If I remember correctly, a #60 holley jet is a good place to start, and you can adjust from there. So, take the size of the orifice in that size jet, and compare to another material you can or wish to use. Been told that you can adjust the size according to whether or not you're getting enough oil to the top a little more simply using the jets, as they are threaded in, so you don't have to fish them back out of the holes! Simply back them out.

50% smaller seems like a good objective for a start, I suppose. I'll probably leave mine larger than that for my truck, when I rebuild my spare 390, as I do a lot of hauling and some towing with it, so the extra oil is almost necessary on top, and can't really hurt much.

This thread, so far...
