This afternoon I took apart the Eddy 750 carb that was originally on the car when this all started. The floats were not hung up at all and were at the proper settings. I cleaned the needles and seats even though they did not look dirty. In fact, everything inside the carb looked bright and clean. I also blew everything out with air before reassembly. Put the carb back together and back on the car. Pulled all the plugs again and dried them all off. Tried to start the car and no dice. Strong smell of gas and the carb was wet all over. I guess I will have to try replacing the fuel pump although I have never had nor heard of a fuel pump that pumped too much fuel when it went bad. I'm getting tired of all of this. Time to start ridding myself of my cars. Did you check the fuel cap.. is this car in a heated shop.. what year is the car  I did open the cap but it made no difference and while I do have heat in the garage, I haven't had it on due to the 40 degree temps. 67 GTX. If you want to rid yourself of the GTX you can send it my way. I'm still looking for my old '67, RS23L77152552 In 1992 my 67 GTX broke down on the side of the highway and it took me 1 1/2 hours later to get back to get it and it was gone. I had owned it since I was 16 years old and had it 14 years . I have not heard anything about it since.

Well, I'm here to tell ya it IS true and that I have seen the regulator hold pressure when shut off so it is valid sometimes weather normal or not....

6 Pax there are only 2 things that can make the gas overflow out of the carb. Too much pressure or the needle and seat being open. Also when putting the carb back together make sure the metering rods are in the main jets. The only reason I mention this is I bought a car from a friend that would load up stopped in traffic but would otherwise run fine. He had the carb an AFB rebuilt at a well know shop that had a good reputation but when I took it apart one of the metering rods was bent in a L and not in the jet. Anythings possible.
Wish I lived closer so I could stop by and help you find the problem.

The simplest way to narrow this down is tee a pressure gage into the fuel line. Then you'll know where the problem is.
This has been stated for days . Guess he does not want to check it.
FYI, it's not that I don't want to check it but rather that I can't at the moment as I don't own a fuel pressure gauge. I wanted to rule out the carb being the problem first before buying a gauge to check the fuel pump pressure. You can buy combo gauge at HF for $13.00 How many days have you wasted? The only time I have wasted is reading your posts in this thread. If all you have to contribute is smart-azz remarks why do you bother to post at all? Since the first reply 15 days ago people have been saying fuel pressure, yet you ignore it. Why ask for advice if you won't take it? Yet when someone points out the obvious you get all hot and bothered and start name calling.
