I don't know about '70 but our '69 COPO Chevelle came with #68 jets in the primaries and #76 in the secondaries. There was noticeable lean surge at 60 mph.

Thanks Keith! Would these be the same jets for the '70 L78 and LS6? Mr70, or anyone?

The 70 L78 Nova came stock with 68 primary and 76 secondary jets in the Holley 4150. This may be a bit lean - check the plugs and size um accordingly,

Thanks Dean! Surprising that the LT-1 would get bigger primary jets than an LS6 or L72 - go figure!

When re-jetting, what combinations have people used with the stock L78? I was thinking about going larger by 2 or 4 sizes.
