Sorry, just came up with another question:
One of the pairs I disassembled had additional copper washers under the needle valve. I believe this is was intended to act as a shim to effectively adjust float height rather than bending the "tab" on the float. Is this a correct assumption? If so, is this the preferred way for some reason or should I just stick to the original Weber method?
Thanks again for the input!

You are right: one uses variable thickness washers to precisely set float levels (which are VERY critical on these carbs to run right). Its must be perfect for the screw adjustments and jetting to operate correctly.
Honestly, that works far better than pulling the darned things and tweaking the tabs.
Make sure you have 3.5 psi of fuel pressure before you start since the float level adjustments are predicated on that figure.
