Rebuilding the carb on my '66

I want to order a carb kit (gaskets and jets) for my 2G 2-barrel carb. Anyone know what size jets are in the stock carb? I would like to know this and where I can find smaller jets for my hi-altitude use.
Thanks in advance...

You might try Sean Murphy Induction. They do Q-Jets and 2G's for racing and high performance street use. They have a website.

They generally come with .055 jets. The size is stamped on the jets. The carb kit can be bought at any parts store. I dought if you will need to change the jet size.

Ha, ha! I DO know what you mean. They are pretty easy to make a mess of and then throw in that "next time" basket. I go in very slow and I'm always prepared to retreat at any time! Once you've been all the way through a few times it gets easier. Can't use a big hammer, that's for sure!...slim
