Holley instructions contradicting on fuel bowl level ??

What messes people up is the two methods Holley describes to set float level are the same. With the sight plugs removed, you adjust so the fuel dribbles out. How in the hell could you adjust the fuel level halfway up the hole with the frikkin plug out? With the clear plugs, you adjust the level until you see the fuel halfway up the sight glass. It's the same exact level in both circumstances. If you put the clear plug in where you adjusted the solid brass plug to just trickle out, you would see the level would be about halfway up.

Also, regarding why the needle assembly is so low on the carburetor, the float is bent. If you readjust it, that will fix that problem.
