Carb Jet Sizing

What would be a good starting point for jet sizes on a 650 dp on a somewhat mild h/c/i 302?

It's been 10 years since I had a 85 Capri with the same combo but I think I had 64's in the front and 72's in the back.

If the carb is new it will run with whats in it if not find out and start there. Then get it on a a/f meter and tune it from there.

That's what I plan on doing. I have a dynojet wideband in my cobra that I'm gonna switch over to my 85 in a few weeks, I just was looking for a good starting point. I have an adjust a jet on the primary side. I think the carb came with 67's on the primary side so maybe I'll just start from there. I've got a bit of 87 in the tank that I need to burn out before I really start to tune on it anyways. I've only put about 10 miles on the car in the last three and a half years. I need to get it out on the road and just do a couple shake down drives before I really start to wrench on it.

the best way to tune a carb car with out a dyno is to make a pull up the street try and drift her back in the garage and pull a couple plugs and check em, then do a jet change, keep soing this until you have reached a desired jet size.... for hard street use i usually have to jet a little more rich than they come...
