Hey Guys!
Fixed the float and got the car running well yesterday. Ross, what you said about the needle being smaller in diameter compared to the seat, was spot on. I checked it out with the new "black tipped" needle that I didn't want to use, and that one fit much more snug in the seat. My dad offered to take the black tipped needle to the machine shop to get them to make a completely brass one (as you can see below). It worked just fine.
And I finally got to take my car to the Sonic down the road on Halloween night, very fun! I was dressed like a greaser, pompadour and everything. Now if I can just get this crap out of my hair.
