Very good. Full restoration. Will this be 100 % factory correct? All original? The float assemblies are available (full wishbones) on mikes carburetor and carbs unlimited for about 40-48 . Since the car and carb has sat an extended period the shake test on your floats will be useless from evaporating. You can use the "cool and plunge" test into steaming water but be aware- these can get paper thin and weak and can test seemingly ok one day then fail shortly after being put into service. This can cause flooding,overflow, and fire hazard.
