The Holley jet rethreads very nicely by running it into a 1/4-28 die- - - -I just tried one. It looks like A Holley #56 or #57 jet should lean yours out a little. If you have access to a lathe and some number drills, you can turn out Rochester jets by the dozen by machining a piece of 5/16" brass rod. I just might set up my lathe and build a few for myself!
