motorcraft 2100 question
i have a 72 ford torino with a 2100 carb. i was wondering if i could change the jet sizes to a 60 because mine came with a 58. would this help my emgine in any way because i have to have the idle rpms high because if i dont the engine will act as if it is too lean. any suggestions?. thx for replies

any suggestions?
I run the idle mixture needles on my carb (2150 2V on a 351M) at 3 to 3.5 turns out for good idle quality.
Changing the jets won't have any affect on the mixture at idle. Only the two idle mixture needles on the front of the carb determine the mixture at idle.
