Holley float level on 2001

[99AirWarrior]

Hi I have a 85 2001 with a very angled engine. My fuel bowls started to leak from the plugs on top rather than epoxy them i converted to 4150 bowls with a secondary metering block kit. I have had extensive experience with Holley's on race cars boats ect. except on a angled engine. I set the level just like I normally do before installing on the body of the carb. When the fuel was pressure up the fuel started streaming out the booster's. So I pulled the sight plugs and the gas dumped out the sight plugs. The thing is the only way to get the boosters too stop dripping is too lower the float level way down, When the fuel trickles out the sight plugs like normal its also running out the booster . My concern is when I need the fuel for higher rpm, the levels will be too low and starved the engine for fuel. So how do you adjust the levels? just till the boosters quit dripping ?. Thank You Joe

I found the trailer was not completely level and I am probably going to have too adjust the floats on the water Joe

I have had trouble setting float level on every angled engine I have done. I have had to install a 9 degree wedge spacer under the carb to get it to run right.

Thank you Nautiquehunter for the information I can find a 5 degree on line but not a 9 . Was it a 5 degree by chance? Joe

Sorry it was an 8 degree on ebay [Chrysler 3527746 8 Degree Carburetor Wedge Plate] I went with it because it was plastic and helped with hot soak starting issues.
