Duke,in reference to questions you asked on my previous thread concerning my AFB: carb #3461S, prim. jets measured .104, sec. .069., unable to read #s on the jets. Metering rods read 16P-98 also a "C" enclosed in a circle,assuming this is a Carter designation.Air Horn 6-1518. I understand the rods are supposed to be .060/.069.Do these rods #s correspond to the correct dimensions? The car is running well. Thanks for any help.

16P-98 is a F/M rod, .068 X .0555 *NM*

the carb is slightly richer on the pri.
the area of the .104 jet is .008494859,the rod areas are .068=.003631678,.055=.002375827,.060=.002827431,.0 69=.003739277. subtract the rod area from the jet area and you can calculate the % difference in richness on the lean and rich stop. you can do the mathComment

Re: AFB/Duke W.
Bowl cover number is correct for a 3461S. What Clem said on the installed rods.
OEM 3461S specifictions:
Primary jets .104 (120-4040
Secondary jets .0689 (120-228)
Metering rod .060/.069 (16-389)
Your installed rods would be slightly richer on both sides. If it runs okay leave it alone unless you want to play.
I expect the circle C means "Carter".
