i know about manufacturing, cost saving etc.. but the point is, there may not be the "right" nozzle. there may be ones that are close, but if you want the perfect part, you have to make it yourself when no-one else makes one.

You are missing the point of the thread
they currently
are making their own parts
the whole point of posting was to find out if anyone has an opinion on weather or not a carb jet would work, and as we all know, opinions are like armpits...
please tell me i'm not the only one who sees this
despite all this, i think a carb jet would do the job if you can find one to match your specifications.
i'd suggest calling up or emailing
holley (they are one of the big names in carburetors... there are others to try if they cant help you) and telling them your requirements. just make it clear that you are planning on buying a whole lot of these jets, and that you are serious. the more you are planning to buy from them, the more friendly they will become, and who knows, they might actually want to
help you...
