What carb # was original for it?(1955 Ford)(the 272 CID) Also what size metereing jets should be in the carb.I am getting terrible gas milage(12MPG) even with Pure gas.I have the correct plugs in it,but they look very brown not good looking (Wet) too.Am going to take it out today and tear it down again.I have several sets of jets Between #44-60.So I have about anything that I might need to fix it,some of the complete carbs that i have are: #94(2),#1"(1)#1 1/16"(3),The 94s and the #1" have a 1 1/4" Throat size and the 1 1/16" Have a 1 3/8" Throat size.
