For quite a few years, I've seen many brass floats leak. I test each one by submerging in water at about 200 degrees. I scrap every one that leaks, as I have not had good success with re-soldering the seams. These floats are 60 plus years old. The aftermarket brass floats are noted to be unreliable.
Pontiac switched to nitrophyl (plastic) floats in 1968, likely for cost savings. I have found the plastic floats to be more reliable than brass.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
