Default Holley 94 float setting

Tinkering with the float setting on an 8RT Holley 94. Three questions for the experts:

1. I set the float to 1 11/32 without the gasket. Should I set to 1 11/32 with the gasket? With gasket on the air horn I am at 1 5/16.

2. My float drop is 1 23/32, is that too much drop? I think the new float valve is smaller in diameter than the original causing more drop. What should the float drop be set to?

3. When I look at the float arm and how it hits the needle, it’s all on one side, which makes me think it might not seal 100%. Should I adjust the tang so that it hits the needle square on the face?

1 11/32 is good w/o gasket. I would add a gasket under the brass seat then readjust
the tab on the float....it will be a flatter contact.
