Have you ever considered changing to a metering block? The jets are a lot quicker to replace and cheaper after the initial investment of about $40. Just a thought......my book is at home so if you don't get an answer by late tonight I will let you know.

Ran across that earlier too. Same problem and same lack of solid answer.

If I had the room I would have just bought a new 4150 but the EGR valve is in the way. Thanks, if you need anymore info let me know.

That’s not a good number. Is there a one/two or four digit number stamped on the back of the plate? (example 7 or 19 or 5792) Holley numbers start out with 34BP-2007-XX or 34BP-5113-X or 34BP-XXXX. Option two is a Quick Fuel Secondary Plate Conversion kit. (Summit Racing Part number QFT-34-3) this replaces your metering plate with a new metering plate with new holes that except regular replaceable jets. I used one on a 600 cfm vac carb and it works good.

The good news is there is a single digit stamped number. The bad news is it was struck by the die twice and I can't tell if it is a 6 or a 9.

6 = .026 idle hole and .070 main hole.
9 = .031 idle hole and .067 main hole.

Thanks, I will have to do some more research on this. These plates suck!

See my earlier response for a better option......those plates are expensive. The plate conversion is your best bet.

Well I measured the idle holes and came out to about the .031 figure, so it looks like it is part number 134-9 which is equal to a #64 main jet.
