Just take the top off, hold it upside down, and see if the float hangs level. If not, bend the tang with needle-nose pliers to adjust it.

It should be just like most other holleys.
On the left hand side of the fuel bowl ( the side the fuel line goes on) there should be a screw just above halfway. Take this out. Start the car and fuel should just trickle out. If it doesnt or if it poors out, you need to back off the nut ontop of the fuel bowl and adjust the screw in the middle of the nut,either in or out depending on how much comes out the fuel level hole. When the fuel just trickles out, tighten the top nut and put the screw back in the side.
Finished

Cheers Steve

Yes, that's how Holley four-barrels are adjusted. But isn't the 180 a license of the Weber 32/36? In which case you have to take the top off to adjust the float level, it is medium easy to do.

DD I was also thinking it could be that case too. Is there a Webber refered to as a 180?
The 180 holley I am refering to is below.

OK, thanks for clarifying that, obviously that is nothing like a weber 32/36.

What about the "Holley G180" of the 2-liter escorts, etc that has been talked about so much? Is that like the one pictured here, or does it look like a 32/36? I will remove it from the 32/36 article if it is not true. The Holley 5200 in north america looks almost identical to a 32/36.
