1930 Cadillac V16 carburators floats

I have a 1930 Cadillac V16 Series 452. I had rebuilded the carburators, but the cork floats are very worn. I had try to find them in different places, but no way ! I will appreciate any help. This Caddy must run again!

Thanks [color:\\"green\\"] </div></div>

What are the original floats? Brass, cork?

I should have read your post more carefully! You did say "cork"! Depending on how large those cork floats need to be, you might check in at a Hobby Lobby or a Michael's, both are huge craft stores. I know I've seen fairly large chunks of cork in both places over the years for use in crafts.

Charles Selick in Rumson NJ makes nice brass float replacements for your Johnson Carburetors. I used one in my 28 V8 with great success.

Here is is address:

Charles H. Selick

He has (had?) hundreds of reproduction parts for 27-33 Cadillacs, mostly potmetal replacement parts in brass. Excellent quality.

His number used to be 201-842-4575

I have not talked with him in some years.
