I once purchased a custom performance jet kit (large jets) the meter amost always was rich.
I have just been frushtrated with how the meter reads vs what this meter reads. My tail pipe says I'm rich, meter says lean,
220,000 mile engine runs good
Maybe the A/F sensor I have just has such a narrow band you have to be just right, but I have done some small jet adjustments
just like your doing and am expecting to see some change for the better, but nope. sounds like we are somwhat close.

oops, heheh, yeah, I think there's another Jeff roamin' about here
I imagine that jetting config. runs pretty well. you have the idle advance connected to your manifold, too, right?
I think I might have a different meter than you. mine's just got little colored bars on it. I'll let you know what I get when I get it
hooked up again, which will probably be tomorrow.
right now I'm having some odd running issues, just inconsistent performance, but I think it might be engine heat related because
of my water pump problem.
I'm gonna break down and do a compression test this weekend too. I'm always afraid to just in case I find something bad.

The inconsistency in that meter is probably due to a dirty O2 sensor or even getting hear burned out . Might try replacing it
although the 3 wire units aren't cheap . The bad part about those guages is on most headers the collector reading is too far away
to really do much good. I still do it the old school way by driveability and checking the plugs . If I'm real anal about it I pull the
exhaust manifold and take a look at the exhaust valves when they are open with a micro light . Sold the entire first order of filters
but I'm adding at least one of the 1kcfm units to the next order for next week . I'll let you know when they come in ...

Finally got some time to snap a pic of the Ramflo and also work on the DCNVA36/DCNF36/DCNF40 projects . Got some of the
brackets done and measurements finished , looks like the whole thing might just work. The 36DCNVA arrived from England on
Saturday and I couldn't wait to rip it apart and check the circuits out. Nice stepped and offset progression holes , much better
design than the 3*/3* DGV series any day. Manual choke, vacuum advance outlet, side hung high angle float, very narrow and
deep float bowl . Also, here's the big one, all jets and emulsion tubes are accesible from the outside like all DCN series carbs .
The air jets are located at an accesible well from the top, just unscrew them and lift the whole assembly of the air jet/emulsion
tube/main jet out as a unit . The main and air jets just push onto the emulsion tube, very slick on these carbs. The idle jets are
accesible from the outside much like the DGV's but all these jets are different than the DGV's.
Here is a shot of a mock-up with the 36DCNVA mounted with the throttle cable bracket . The adapters are 6061 alloy...
