Default Re: Correct float setting

Don't overthink it . . . 1/32 of an inch isn't going to make any difference at all. The most important thing is to make sure you have a good fuel filter, that the fuel lines (if rubber) are new and not cracked, etc and that your fuel pressure is correct. I always run a low-pressure fuel regulator - Holley makes a good one

Many of the re-pop mechanical pumps put out way too much fuel pressure - though the Holley style float and needle is a lot more forgiving than the Stromberg 48/81/97 variants. I'd set the fuel pressure to around 3 lbs on a Holley setup. You can use the Holley/Quickfuel part number of 30-804QFT - it is for 1 - 4 lbs.

If you're running a multi-carb setup, then buy a 'UniSyn' device that helps you synchronize the throttle plate openings so the approximate same amount of air is passing through each. Edelbrock makes/distributes a version of the tried and true device . . . have used my old one for 45 years! LOL
