That is a coincidence, Mike! So now we both know that Carter AFB's like their primary and secondary jets in the correct locations.
As I worked with a mechanic trying to unscramble a carb challenge, he was shocked to find my port carb with FOUR secondary jets and the starboard carb with, as you could guess, FOUR primary jets. It should be two and two of each. One engine ran lean, one ran super rich. They worked that way, which is amazing, and we figured that the jets had been removed, tossed in parts cleaner and inserted randomly. At a distance they all look alike so I can see how it could happen. Anyway, once secondary and primary jets were relocated to their correct locations, the 427's ran like they were designed to deliver.
Another example how this forum helps share the pains and the triumphs.
