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.

I have 72 and 76 in mine. Runs great that way.

Here is THE setup for these carbs, courtesy of COPO Pete:

72 fronts, 84 rears...with a 65 power valve in the front and a plug in the rear. Made a world of difference in our cars...
