Scott,

I got my center pivot floats off of a junk double-pumper. If you go this 
route, be sure the rear accelerator pump is blocked, or it will leak gas. 
Otherwise, it's a pretty simple swap and you get rear metering jets to boot.

Now, on the other hand, if you have twin SU's on a '64 right hand drive 
Elva Courier, then it could be the distributor wire shorting against the 
exhaust manifold. ;-)

Havin' some fun in S.D.,

Bob
