Jetting Adjustment for Sea Level ?
 
I imagine that this is probably pretty mundane stuff for most of the guys here

My car runs a pair of 1405 Edelbrock AFB's ( 600 CFM )
We tuned on the dyno in Calagary ( 3500 ft... actually measured 4000 on the barometer )
Current jetting is 92's on all 8 corners, using 7552 metering rods.

Need to make appropriate "enrichment" for sea level.
I don' have the equipment or experience to make the fine tuned changes there, so I need to get a safe, but power making mixture.
It will take no leaner here, as it is.

I'm thinking of bumping up to 95's in the secondaries, and dropping to a 7347 metering rod in the primaries.
Not sure if that's enough though ??

hope you guys can help ?

Sure hope so !
Been trying to for 4 years now ( it IS a 1500 mile round trip for me ! ).
Watching the weather, and saving money.

We use the 9636 Federal Mogul 625 cfm carbs, essentially the same components as your Edelbrocks. If the DA changes 3000 feet, rejet one jet size (ie 92's to 95's). If you would rather swap metering rods, a difference of .003-.004 in the metering rod tip is roughly equivalent to a jet change of one size. if you are borderline lead at 4000+ DA, and the air at Mission is in the area of Sea level or better, you would be safer by jetting up 2 sizes in the secondaries, and one size plus a rod change in the primaries.

That is kind of what I was thinking, but my "thinking" on this subject, at this level ( pun intended ! ), has no basis in experience !

Hey, be thankful I'm going... you guys need incapable drivers like me down there, with our "slug cars",
