In my opinion the 57 is a good all round metering jet. Unless you have a 261 from a bus that was governor equipped from factory then you need a #42 jet. This is a Rochester BC carb. If there is any evidence of a governor attached throw it away and go with your exiting BC. Most governor's at the time kept the speed at 45 mph. I'm a Rochester/Carter Nazi so you may need advice from tclederman or hotrodlincoln. There is a gold mine of folks on this web-site that have pretty much seen it all. A plane old Model "B" with a choke pull off is my preference on all the oldies. Stuck in my ways Doc.
