Float & Hinge Pin Kit

The Edelbrock Float & Hinge Pin Kit (MPN 1469) is a precision carburetor rebuild component designed for enthusiasts restoring or tuning Edelbrock Performer and Thunder AVS carburetors. This essential kit addresses one of the most critical fuel delivery systems in classic and street performance engines—the float bowl assembly. Whether you're diagnosing fuel starvation at wide-open throttle, replacing worn hardware, or performing a complete carburetor restoration, this hinge pin and float assembly ensures proper fuel level regulation and consistent jetting response across all throttle ranges.

Constructed from brass—a material chosen for its corrosion resistance and dimensional stability—the Edelbrock Float & Hinge Pin Kit maintains precise float height settings critical to carburetor performance. The side-hung float design allows gravity-fed fuel delivery to remain consistent, while quality hinge pins prevent binding and premature wear that can lead to flooding or lean-running conditions. The kit includes gauging components that enable proper float level adjustment according to Edelbrock's factory specifications, ensuring the needle valve seat maintains optimal sealing pressure without sticking. This attention to detail separates quality OEM and reproduction components from inferior aftermarket alternatives that compromise fuel metering accuracy.

Mechanics and engine builders working on Edelbrock Performer and Thunder AVS carburetor models benefit most from this kit during top-end rebuilds, fuel system diagnostics, or when transitioning between fuel grades or ethanol blends that demand fresh float components. Installation requires basic carburetor service knowledge and attention to float height specification—a critical step often overlooked by inexperienced tuners. The compact 2.65 x 1.9 x 5.1 inch package fits easily in any service bay, and the 0.1 lb weight reflects the precision engineering typical of Edelbrock's OEM-quality restoration parts. For anyone serious about carburetor tuning or restoration, this kit represents the foundation of reliable fuel delivery.
