thats not low enough. You can go a lot lower without ANY danger of draining the float bowls, especially if you install some main jet extensions with. the notched nytrofil floats. Even w'o that set up you can go lower on the fuel level.

Your engine will run better, and not run rich around a fast corner when you lower the fuel level some more.

I'll repeat what I said recently here, I'ver been working on Holley carbs attached to Ford engines for over 50 years. I haven't seen one yet that didn't run better with the floats lowered from the Holley specs. position. Don't take my word for it, try it and see,
