it is actually center hung floats and no one from any oreily's around here even co8uld look up the part i realy dont know why but they all told me that no one had them in stock so i just ordered one from summit racing to day i ordered the only one that resembled my part so i ordered it and hopefully it will be right

thats because most dont realize they have a holley book that isnt in the computer. Its amazing how easy that job was when I ran an oreilly and a napa. They hire almost anyone now and tell them to go at it. Oreilly should have had a holley center hung float in stock down by the accell and other wanna be go fast parts

i have also looked at all the parts houses near the accel/mr gasket/msd stuff also near the build it yourself intakes and oher things and they dont have them not a single one not the floats needles seat nothing so i had to order one from summit i also found out today that the floats that are in my carb have a habit of failing and soaking up gas i have the black plastic foamy one i cant remember what the name of the material is but i am trying to order this also and dont know if i have the right one but i will be hopefully ordering tommorow and know the holley book you talking about and the oreily guy said it was stolen, i asjed him if i could see it then found this out

If the float is gettn gas in it there should still be gas inside of it.

umm not really sure how to tell i dont think these are hollow floats i could be wrong but they dont feel hollow the feel more like a hard covered foam ill have to look up what they are called but i was looking at common problems with holleys and the float becoming saturated with gas was one of the problems and everything else seems fine i can take the bottom bolt out of the bowl drain the gas put the bolt back in fired right up and run for 2more hours then i have to repeat

nitrile or something like that is what yours are made of if they arent brass.

I bet if you find an older guy who has a shop around town he will have some floats laying around. Either way you can order them

tayzoid1 · 01-12-2009, 05:58 PM

yea i belive the name is something like that and i will check around town and see cause this stuff happining after the car has been driving around for an hour or so kinda points to the float slowly soaking up fuel
