Has anyone taken their alcohol carb and switched it to e85? I have a good alcohol carb and the rules changed just trying to figure out if it’s possible to make a switch with the same carb. The phone number on the side of it says it’s disconnected.

we put our C&S alky on E85 and did nothing but change the jets , E 85 requires less fuel than methanol , we either went 20 or 25 % bigger than gas jets but depends on your carb

Thanks for the info. I’ve got a Jim evans carb the number to call is disconnected. I’d like to know where to get jets for it they are bigger than your normal Holley jet they are a 3/8 hex and about a half inch long. I’ve searched and just don’t know enough to find any.

Do your jets look like these?

Maybe the OP is seeing jet extensions on the rear bowl?
