I just put 46s in my Autolite 2100. Course, I'm at 10,200'. Remember, if you do check the vacumm, you won't be getting anywhere near the reading that you may get at sea level. Add 1 inch for every 1000' you are above sea level. I now am at 13-14. Add 10 inches for the elevation, and I am at 23 to 24 inches. Not to shabby.

I FINALLY DID IT. I TUNED A CARB WITHOUT MAKING IT SHOOT FLAMES OUT THE TOP!!!!! anyways....

Well it was originally jetted at 67 primarys and 75 primarys and now i have it at 61 and 69. I feel better power. My tire now gives a quik slip and takes off and when im going 30mph and i kickdown the pedal i can feel a good difference in power than before. I knew that 155 rwhp was bad for even my elevation. Im guessing im in the neighbor hood of 170-175 rwhp now hopefully once i get my k&n on i will feel some more. Thanks for all your help guys!!
