Also,
The "rebuild" level is probably a low level just to get you going. The
instructions are
to always set the level wet after installation.
Float level has a minor(?) influence on mixture. Your dad may have tweaked it
based
on his ox sensor readings?

Re: [Tigers] Holley Rebuild - float bowls Too-high floats are usually more
trouble than too-low floats because you can get unintended flooding during
hard cornering or braking. If your needle and seat size is marginal (or if
the fuel pump/fuel line flow capacity is not that good) then having the
floats low can cause starvation on sustained full-throttle due to
insufficient fuel volume in the carb. I'm not familiar with the float setting
procedure on the Holley carbs, but I'm sure there are specific tweaks that
can be done, depending on the float bowl style, to alleviate the common
driving concerns. On many Weber carbs, you had to be a bit careful because
the float high limit was set by flipping the assembly upside down, and this
would sometimes lead people to adjusting the things in the wrong direction.
