Well what you can't do is just set the floats to where the gas is right at the bottom of the sight hole. That may have worked on an OEM engine, fitted in an original engine bay, with Sunoco 260 in the tank, but it doesn't work with most of our Cobras today. The gas is way crappier, and our engines often times sit at funky angles. You have to start with your float levels at the base of the sight hole and then keep adjusting them down until you find your sweet spot. An eighth of a turn on the floats can make a world of difference.
