Good Day All
Took the Dart for a 20+ mile jaunt today. All was well until the first traffic light. The Dart died. Fired right back up, however, it idled poorly.

Since the Dart has glass float bowls, a quick glance showed that both carbs were completely filed. My guess is that either: 1) some dirt was disloged since changing the filter and made its way to the needle/seat and/or 2) the floats may have absorbed some fuel.

Once the car sits for a couple hours, the fuel level drops to where it's suppose to be. This takes its toll on the mileage.

Is there a source for floats that don't cost $40 each? I guess that they are no longer being produced, but I have a hard time shelling out $80 + shipping for two floats.

Thanks to all who respond.
