    Now days you can buy (or at least could a year or so ago) an element that is twice the height as the stock one.

    If you had the same difficulty finding any big jets for the Rochesters I've run into I'll bet you had a trusty set of drill bits for the jets to get enough methanol into the engine too.

    Yup, a special set of drill bits that a machinist buddy of mine sent me. However later he sent me a tap that we'd drill out the threads where the Rochester jets screwed in and rethread them for Holley jets. Always liked to do a bit of radius work around the hole in the jets, too.
