I don't know yet if they are the same but if I have to change one out is there a better jet that I should put in both while I"m at it?
Thanks,

Find a couple of Carter carbs for a 216, and re-position the mounting studs for the narrower spacing. You'll be much more likely to have acceptable low speed and midrange performance, and little, if any loss of high-RPM horsepower.
