So here's a question I haven't been able to find the answer to in reading search results:
1. float height is important - my question, do I measure to the carb body or include the gasket in the measurement? Ford manual doesn't show (Fig 14 Chapter 1 from Fuel System section) They do say to install the metering gasket and then do the float height - problem is my Holley uses one gasket for both so the bowl gasket is there (this time I folded the gasket up and measured to the carb body)
2. Gaskets - carb currently has one-piece gasket for bowl & metering assembly. Is there a supposed to be any passages in the gasket specific to the carb model number? I wonder if the PO put the gasket in upside down? Hobo cuts his own but I was wondering on thickness of gasket material.
no one answered the previous thread - anyone know?
Sincerely,
