I need to do the same with one of my dell 48's before Auto X season kicks in

the brass floats lead me to believe its an older carb as all the new sidedrafts come with the solid phenolic floats. the brass floats work fine. the solid floats are only needed for boosted applications

Any updates on the rebuild? did you get the kit and were your floats plastic already?

Sorry guys. The rebuild kit came in last Monday, and I have been out of town for work ever since. I get back home Thursday night, I hope to tear into it this weekend!
