So for the current vehicle I am building (my winter rat daily driver), I decided to go back to something that actually works, lol. Enter: quadrajet.
Mr Olds, that was your first post in this thread, what you have done is NOT a winter rat daily driver...hell it's alot nicer then alot of summer rides out there...
on that carb was the brass float already there or did you buy it?
lol, Thanks again pontiacgp, part of the reason I went a little overboard, is because the oportunity was there, one door was already missing, so why not remove the rest, makes it easier to sand properly, fenders had to come off for reshaping, quater windows had to come out for welding, I had the engine out in the open mind as well clean and paint, it's a product of the snowball effect, lol. I originally had no intent of taking it quite this far, but the nit picker took over and ummm yeah, lol. However with the exception of the roof and quarter, I used virtually no body filler on this, I left the dings and small dents in it, I figured there's no sense in making it perfect, as it will see offroad use, lol.
The float: When I cracked the carb open a brass one was in it, I'm not sure that it had one factory beacause this carb was a holley reman. I always use brass floats though whether or not it came with one (yes I bought a new one) , main reason, they either float, or sink, they can't take on fuel unless there's a hole unlike the plastic type (just personal preference I guess, lol).
Bonnewagon: That is awesome! Thank you!
If the jeep works ok, I'll be building more q-jets for my 258's and those sheets are going to be a huge help!
. Yup basic thing like that caught me up 
, it works now though, hahaha.
