If you can't find it at the following link,shoot them an email. http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Orderinfo.htmThe owner goes by Carb King on the forums. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,194 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,194 | | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,763 Carburetion specialist | | Carburetion specialist Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,763 | Got your email. But since you also posted here, I will give the answer to the email here as well.
With all due respect, this is a question I won't answer. No, I am not trying to keep the information to myself, rather it is a matter of time. The dimensions are found ONLY on the original blueprints/drawings which are on microfilm. It would take an hour or so to retrieve the information, and present it in a usable form. And spending that hour could result in about 3800 identical questions for other metering rods.
As far as general specs:
Effective length 2.40625
High vacuum 0.0715
Midrange 0.062
Low vacuum 0.045
And even Carter did not have a comprehensive chart (at least it doesn't exist in the factory records in my possession).

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
