what carb jet size do you use for a 352 ?

I am wondering what is a good carb jet size to use on a 62 galaxie with
a 352 auto.? I have a holley 4160 4bblw/elec choke.I have used 57,and
65 jets,yet the engine still misses at hiway speeds and is too lean.
At low idle or full throttle it runs fine.The engine seems to do a
consistent stutter at 60 and occasionally backfires/pops.It appears to
be starving for fuel. The lines and carb are clean and it has a new
fuel pump and filter.Thanks for any help. steve.

I would change the diafram first it might have a pin hole in it then see if it bogs when the secondares are coming in if so then you probably need a heavier secondary spring because the secondary is coming in too soon.
