Brian,
Will check the float levels again but those damn plastic floats are hard to
set as it's hard to see when they contact the float needle. When I first
started my car up I had a problem with one carb as raw gas was coming out
from the nozzle. Adjusted the float and changed the needle to make sure.
No air cleaner yet.
It's a 66 stroker.
Brand new distributor.
Thanks again,
Mike
