ok, so i went to the weber website and looked up the float level settings for my 44 IDFs ...
10mm closed and 32.5mm open my carbs were pretty off, one side was 10mm closed and 25mm open, the other side was 8mm closed and 23mm open ... i just finished rebuilding the carbs and i did set the levels to weber specs, will that make a huge difference in how they work or not?

As noted, the float level can very easily affect mixture. Weber USA told me that usually float levels are set low and compensated by jetting as the cars corner harder and with more g-forces that the cars Webers were originally designed for and the needle has trouble seating because of this. I used to set the carbs on my stroker four so the floats were a mm lower that what was called for in their specs and I had very little spill over even with slicks on the car.
