Carter YF Carb-Jet size for 5,500 ft

I just recently moved to Prescott AZ. Having some trouble with rough idle and too rich of fuel mixture.


I have been told I need to get smaller metering jets. I found them at Carter BBD Jets | Carburetor Main Metering.


Can anyone tell me what size I need at this altitude. I realize I can do the spark plug test, gray, black, white but what size does this carb usually come with?


I have a 1978 F150 300 motor with the one barrel Carter YF.


Thanks

I have nothing to offer but this link because your question made me curious.
Carter AFB Metering Jet
It appears it lists the stock jet sizes.
