My "A" still uses a cork as a float, I can give you the phone number of a
Model "A" parts house and you can order one, they come with the hole already
there, the float I have is 15 years old and still works and looks as new.
Try this, Brattons Auto Parts 1-800-255-1929, cork float # 9313-A, neoprene,
gas & alcohol proof # 9313-B
