Carb advice

Hey guys!

I have a couple questions for you about the carb on my 223.

I'd like to get a rebuild kit, could you help me identify the model of this Holley?

How do I adjust the float level?

I don't see any vacuum ports on the carb, so when I'm tuning, I assume I connect the vacuum gauge somewhere on the intake?

Thank you!!

Holley

The vacuum line is the small one that has the inverted “P” trap that goes to the distributor. The purpose of the trap is to prevent gas from entering the vacuum advance and ruining the diaphragm.

Thanks, Kenny.

I accidentally stumbled onto most of my answers.
Carb is a Holley 1904.
Here's how to adjust the float:

Any good carb rebuild kit will have instructions for the needed adjustments. NAPA sells a good kit for that carb.
