I say about 3/4 full, my buddy helping me says right to the top of the glass bowl is ok. Who buys who a cup of coffee? Thanks.

Changed to a 4bbl Carter WCFB. First thing that happened was the aluminum plugs fell out. Took Hotrod’s suggestion and drove 00 lead shot into all four holes. Now gas goes to top of bowl till it starts dripping gas. Unsure of jetting as carb is off an early ‘vette and the jet number vs size must be a closely guarded secret from Carter as I can find no reference to figure out what jets it has. I know about using drill bits. Thanks.
