Hello Greg,   I too would be very interested in this jet informaiton.  I just rebuilt my Rochester carb last week and the Patrol is running good, but I live in Flagstaff, AZ @ 7000+ feet.  I do almost all of my driving in and about 7000 feet.  Since there is less available oxigen at these heights, then would the jet need to be larger or smaller?  Do you happen to know what are the specs of the factory Rochester carb's jet?  We could then try a trial and error method if we knew where we are starting from.   Jason
