38 dgas jetting for pinto

Can any body point me in the right direction on what I should be jetting my 38 dgas for my 2litre pinto? Googling tells me it should be

Mains 145

Air jets 185

Idle jets 45

Acc pump 55

Emulsion tubes f50

Idle air bushes 145

I would much rather hear it from someone on here

TIA

Wade

    If being a stock pinto. .
    1st thing I'd do is reduce the main jet from 145 down to 125 or around that number , all others could be in the ball park to get it running . All i did when i fitted a 40dfa (similar to 38dgas) is use all the jets and airs that came from my pinto carb , my motor was slightly tuned and i did spend a while under the bonnet and drive tests to get it happy .

    It's not a stock pinto but not wild either has a cam close to fr32 ported head bigger valves and shaved head. I bought the 38 dgas brand new and I slapped it on idled fine and revved fine when built up but when driven bogged down and fueled up and fowled the plugs. The carb is all standard specs as its straight of the shelf. Just seems to be fowling the plugs and blowing black smoke when you flatten it.
