Carb jet question
Rehabbing an old carb and stripped both of the secondary jets and needed to drill them out
it’s an Edelbrock 1405 and stock primaries are 100 and secondaries are 95.
online rebuild kits come with 95,98 and 101 jets. Big deal or not?

You drilled out the secondary jets? Are the threads shot or can you get them out to replace them. The Primary jets are bigger than secondary, but the primary jets have metering rods hanging in them.
An informative article here: https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/17...es-carburetor/ Also, a bunch of stuff at Edelbrock support?
I bought a Edelbrock #1477 kit, and went through my 1405 that had been in use since 12 or so years ago, only replaced the accelerator pump plunger with the cup on it. I don't recall it having new jets. I even reused the top gasket, so my kit is still sealed as I had a separate FP plunger on hand.

Threads are still ok. The brass started to fracture with a flat blade screwdriver. I used an ez out bit and was able to get the fittings to unthread. The rebuild kit doesn’t have new jets but they have kits with new jets, needles, and springs.
i just wasn’t sure if 101 on the primaries would make that big of a difference when stock jets are 100. Now that I think about it, I can likely reuse the primaries I removed and just get new secondaries.
