Thanks for the tips folks. I talked to a well respected tech in my area who has been fixing cars for over 30 years, I know him well from my days at NAPA. He said it is definately a needle and seat/float problem and gave me a couple of things to try.
Joe, Thanks for the tip on what function that hole serves. I have been wondering what purpose a hole in the top of the float bowl would serve. As far as how much fuel fows out, let's put it this way; it's more like a stream of fuel-which also floods out the car unless I rev the engine. I did replace the float when I rebuilt it, I chose a brass one over the neophyl( or how ever you spell it) and although it moves the needle fine-it could be that the needle is not going up far enough to shut off the fuel.
I will try checking the float settings once again to see how they are. By the way, from the research I have done, the carb appears to be a number used on 1969 cars (7029156) and the kit came with 1969 float settings. Does anyone have, or no where I can get, the settings for a 68? Or are they the same settings? Thanks again
