You measure the fuel level in a 97. Remove the top of the carb and the gasket, measure from the surface that the gasket was on to the fuel. Best done with the motor running. Make a gauge from some sheet metal, or cut a notch out of a 6" steel ruler.
EDIT: (15/32" to 1/2" Corrected by drolston see post #22) the float should sit reasonably flat and level. Check your fuel pressure FIRST!
