Just an observation with personal experience. Ive had more than one old float fall victim to age, ethanol gas, or a combo of both. Most recently the float in my 86 K10 took on fuel and had almost the same problems. Due to it being about 10 degrees outside, I didnt pull the carb, just removed the top plate, and swapped(calibrated) the float and its been running great since. If you liked your combo of hard parts (jets, metering rods, etc.) before, and the float was the issue, you'll be happy with the new float and maybe a rebuild too, with out breaking the bank. ONE other small observation, aluminum intakes are great (i have use many over the years) but unless your having hot fuel problems, your probably not going to notice a lot of seat of your pants improvement over stock in most dd truck applications. I do however like the cool factor when opening the hood though as well ....
