This is only the case with dual intake port cylinder heads and I have 
read somewhere that its beacause the LH side of the engine runs 
slightly hotter than the RH as result of the oil cooler obstructing 
some airflow. Best to keep it so. Maybe Jim Adney can shed 
some more light on this.

Try the following:

			LH		RH
Main jet		x132.5	x130
Air jet		150		120
Float weight	7.3g		7.3g

This is the stock 1967 setup and IMHO gives the best performance. The 
fuel consumption may be a little high - depending on how heavy your 
right foot is....
