Default Holley 2045 Carb Adjustments help.

I have a Holley 2045 1 barrell, stock number 7096. I don't know what the carb came off of, it came with the 86 F150 I'm working on and it wasn't hooked up. The carb is in good condition, only needing to be cleaned. I need to make sure everything is set right, especially the floats.

It looks like this carb was set up for a manual choke, or possibly used with linkage to a heat coil mounted on the intake? Dodge did that on a lot of there carbs. Who knows, this carb may be off of a Dodge. If anyone knows what this carb came off of or has carb adjustment specs for it, I would like to know.

I need to know the float height, where to measure from, also, how to set up the choke linkage.

Nevermind, this carb is a Holley 1945 list number 7096, and I believe it did come off a Dodge with a slant 6. I have my manual for Dodge trucks so it looks like I'm covered. No wonder search results didn't bring up a Holley 2045.

I broke that carb by accident trying to put it back together. Went to the scrap yard and found a good carb off a 1982 F150, slapped it on and the truck starts and idles great. I didn't even clean it, lol. I scrapped the Holley. Problem solved.
