Does Napa include the float perhaps?

Wherever you get it make sure it is a reputable brand!

Thanks for the reply duck. I went ahead and bought the autozone kit which is made by sorensen/standard ignition. Napa was going to have to order theirs. Looks like a good quality kit. Does not contain a float, this is a rebuild i am doing this weekend. Thanks!

some of the reasons napa is higher is because they are or could be indepentantly owned. and they stand behindthier parts way better than az. they also have a better quality part than az. az gets all of thier stuff primarily from china. to make the prices lower for resale.
