Alright guys im a newbie 19 year old that doesnt know much termanology but figured I can maybe ask the pros. I want my 73 1.7 litre (switched to carbs) and drove it from Portland elevation 50' to Bend which is 3,600'. Many people say many things but the most common one is to rejet the carburetors with bigger jets. Is this something a novice kid can do on his own? The car does seem to be running a little lean. Any insights and advice are appreciated!
