Pav8427:
I git the kit and parts we talked about. Everything is as it should be. Thank you. Would it be best to stick with factory float setting for this?  Could I bump it up a bit? Would that help anything? 
Thanks. Doug.
PS. Good luck with the ZOMBIES. I have plenty of venison if the meat dept. becomes bare.

Cliff Ruggles:
Stock float setting was really low in those going from memory.  I typically set them high unless it's going on a completely stock original application (quite rare these days).

It's pretty quiet in these parts, hardly seeing anyone out and very few cars on the roads.....no Zombies yet, but the plague is starting to hit Ohio pretty hard....

Pav8427:
Sounds good. I will try .280ish. They just called for shelter in place here in Minnesota. Starts Friday and midnight till the 10th. Cases are going up pretty fast.
Take care all. Be safe.

Cliff Ruggles:
Unless it has an original high pressure fuel pump set-up I use 9/32" so you should be good there.

I use a similar 17057274 carb on my engine and have been using it close to 30 years now.  It's never grumbled once in all that time with 7.5psi fuel pressure from a 140gph electric pump and regulator with a return system and that's with one of our .145" high flow N/S assemblies and small float........Cliff

Funny cause I'm currently working on a virgin, still sealed 17080253 (307 Oldsmobile) and it has 75 main jet with 54M primary metering rods.  I was convinced those M rods (.036" power tip) were only found on Chevy single main air bleed carbs, and I thought mine had been replaced at one point, but it seems like they came in those Olds carbs.
