[Love 70 Chevys]

Removal of the old float came next. There was quite a bit of crud down in the bottom of the bowl from the decaying gasket. It didn't seem to be in the area of the needle valve, so it probably wasn't causing too much of a problem. One slide clip that can be pulled with finger tips and the float comes right out. The kit has a new metal one, supposedly the original ones are made of a material that tends to absorb gas over time. It's good to get the needle bagged up now before it gets lost. (The kit comes with a new needle, but I like to keep all the old parts as sometimes new parts are not always what I hoped for!)
