What recommendations does the list have for metering needles for a DD. The mods 
are a big bore piston kit, new stock cam, 4 into 1 header exhaust, old style 
Soundmaster Turbo Muffler at the rear. The plug readings are quite dark when 
run at higher RPM and it tends to blow blackish smoke from over enrichment when 
accelerating if the mixture is adjusted correctly at idle and low RPM. This 
seemed to happen after installing the cheap tubular header in place of the OE 4 
into 2 into 1 exhaust manifold. Gas mileage dropped a bunch too. So, I suspect 
we need to go with some slower taper metering needles. Has anyone found some 
alternatives that work well? Thanks, Arnold
