I don't use the brass floats these days.  Way back when we did use them, we had a few develope leaks at the soldered joints and sink. 

They get the same setting as the standard type floats, but I wouldn't set one that low unless you are running really high fuel pressure......Cliff

I run 7.5 psi at the track with the same carburetor, and have the float set at exactly 1/4"....Cliff
