Holley float question
I'm rebuilding a Holley 1850, it's old, in fact I took this thing apart to clean 35 years ago, I then sold the project it was for and put it all in a clean bucket. Anyway it wasn't that old when I took it apart so the throttle shafts etc are tight etc. Now many years later as I already had a " trick kit" for it I decided to put it back together to put on my 56 Dodge p/u 318. Here's my question, it's got side hung floats that are cone shaped, the two springs I have that were removed all those years ago are slightly different from each other, one is stronger with more winds. I obviously can't remember what spring was primary and what was secondary, I've been searching the net and some info says the front and rear bowls use the same spring and some say the primary bowl uses the heavy spring and lighter in secondary. I've ordered a second heavy spring from my local parts store to make them the same if I choose. Now I realize the accelerater pump springs come in different colors and spring tensions but honestly what difference would float spring tension make? Anyone have experience with these? Photos of the different ones attached.
