Be VERY careful buying replacement brass floats. There are a LOT out there that have been soldered on the float brackets UPSIDE DOWN. So make sure you don't get those.
Thanks Rusty, it turns out the float NAPA ordered is exactly what you said!!!! Float bracket soldered on with the float upside down!!
Who's doing this?!! Really!!?
Ed, my parts guy is determined to find me another float by tomorrow if at all possible. Good service by NAPA!
(And it's great to have known your parts guy for 16+ years.)
And the Dakota V-6 starter that I run on the 340 DID come out with my homemade headers still on. Yay! It was damn close but wiggled it out of there. :D
