Wedge Style Float - Primary

The Holley Wedge Style Float – Primary (Part No. 116-13) is a center-hung carburetor float engineered for precision fuel level control in Holley carburetors. Constructed from nitrophyl material, this wedge-shaped primary float delivers the reliable fuel metering essential to engine performance tuning and carburetor rebuilds across classic hot rods, street machines, and vintage performance applications.

Wedge-style floats are valued for their streamlined design, which minimizes float bowl turbulence and reduces fuel sloshing during acceleration and cornering. Nitrophyl construction provides superior resistance to modern ethanol-blended fuels compared to older cork or leather materials, extending float lifespan and maintaining accurate fuel level calibration over extended service intervals. The center-hung design centralizes float movement, ensuring consistent buoyancy response and predictable needle valve actuation across varying fuel pressures and temperatures.

This component is intended for carburetor restoration, replacement, and tuning work on Holley four-barrel and two-barrel carburetors that specify the 116-13 float assembly. Builders and restoration professionals rely on OEM Holley floats to maintain original performance specifications and ensure repeatable jetting calibration during carburetor setup. Whether addressing a sticking float, upgrading a used carb core, or performing a complete rebuild, the correct float weight and design are critical to fuel delivery precision and drivability.
