I have a chevy 3.8 out of a 1982 malibu, but my carb came off of a 267( or what ever that really small v8 gm had in the early 80s) I'm running rich and was couris about jet size in the stock 2barrel carb. The v8 carb I know have is a two barrel also both were dual jets by rodchester.

The reason i changed carbs was the one I had was eletric carb and I did want to fool with it so I,ve changed out the dist. and carb. converting it back to 1980's spec

If no one knows what size jets How would I find out. besides trying to find another in a salvage yard. Which I've not been able to do

Stock jetting and rods vary. Pull the cover off the top of the carb, and the rods and jets are stamped. HTH
