I'm recalling that the metering rods are brass, but it's a bit tough for them to accidentally get dropped down past the throttle plates. Same for jets. FWIW, I had a 1406 on a 305 Chevy and only had to go 4 numbers up on the metering jets to cover an off-idle stumble. Off the shelf, it may have worked OK, but the headers may have scavenged just enough...

When I go the gun range, I always think that a brass magnet would be a good thing. Too bad such a thing doesn't exist.
