What is the correct float level setting for a High-Lift nozzle bar carburetor? Why were there EAB Carburetors available with either the conventional nozzle bar or the High-Lift nozzle bar. Does one type offer advantages over the other?

Hi, Still haven't gotten an answer to this question! What is the correct fuel level setting for the High-Lift Nozzle Bar Carburetor? Recently rebuilt one and the engine will barely run, let alone provide enough power to drive the car. Please help.

The float level should be the same as the specified in the kit. If the level is too low, you will have high speed driving problems or starvation on turns. If it is too high, you will have flooding problems. If you give your symptoms, we may be able to give you some suggestions. Poor running and low power can be caused by both a lean or a rich mixture. Lean mixture problems can come from vacuum leaks or plugged passages. Rich mixture problems can be caused by float level, power valve installation or incorrect assembly. Tom

I am fairly certain that it was around that time ('49 or so) the design had changed. I have for decades searched out the "high" nozzles to adapt to earlier carburetors. They help reduce the siphoning effect the early carbs. were known for. The nozzle choice will not effect the float setting. It appears something else is amiss in your rebuild effort.
