No problems but today my 2100 and Holley 1908 1V is done.  Need the 1V for a 223.  Sorry to hear about the hung up intake needle and seat.  Had that happen only once on a new installed kit, but it never happened again after pulling out the needle and blowing out it and the seat.

Hi all, thought you all might enjoy an update on the carb issue. After much fiddle-farting with the carb , I decided to get another kit. I noticed that the new kit had the same float valve seat that I took out, but the needle valve was about 1/16 inch longer than the one I took out. I changed everything out and it purrs like a kitten(lion). I guess the long seat/short needle valve combo was getting hung up ever so slightly. I also remember the original kit being new and unopened from a reputable auto store. Echlin brand to be exact. Oh well, who knew. Anyway, all is well in both my 292 powered vehicles now. Hope this helps anybody else having problems......Cheers, 292fan

Thanks for the welcome and the suggestions. I do have the phenolic spacer under the carb. I will re-kit the carb and I may try to set the fuel level in the bowl instead of the float level. I have a shop manual that lists both levels. Maybe because my aftermarket float is flat on the top and shorter ;not rounded like factory, it is throwing me off.

BTW I also have a 64 F100 with the 292. I just can't get enough of the sound. It's better than my nephew's 390 with headers!

Since the carb is off, go to Autozone and buy a new kit and install.  It includes a new powervalve, gaskets, diagram, accelerator pump, instructions and a measuring scale to set the dry float level.  2100s should have new PV and pumps installed about every 3 years given modern day gas, and the fact that many of them sit on unused engines a significant amount each year.  Cost isnt very much, not more than $20.  Tell them you want a 2V carb kit for a 1965 Mustang.  The kits are universal.  Make sure the float isnt gas logged.  Use a couple cans of carb cleaner and blow everything out well, finishing with lots of compressed air.  Dont forget to put the steel/brass/aluminum (type of metal depends on model) weight with ball bearing underneath it, back in place. 

It sounds like your model is a 1.14 venturi.  The size is cast into the side of the carb body inside circle.

Welcome!

It does sound like your float level is too high thus letting fuel run in after it is shut off.  I doesn't take much and the pressure in the line will feed enough gas in to flood it good.  I would assume that you have a spacer/insulator under the carb.  If not this can also boil the gas out and into the engine.

If you have already covered this you can disregard but it's the best I can do sitting where I am.

I see this is your first post, Welcome to the site.

Hi, I have a 60 Galaxie with the 292 and an Autolite 2 bbl carb. I recently rebuilt it to clean it up a bit on the outside, but it was running fine. I also opened the jets one size also. Everything is great except that when I shut off the engine and let it set for 10 min or so. It won't start until I hold the pedal to the floor(flooded). I looked before I tried to start it once and gas is bublbing out the carb into the throat and intake. I can't really tell which ports it's coming from as there is so much fuel. The float is flat, composite(plastic I think). Are the float height settings for this type the same as the rounded brass one? I have the carb off and I cleaned the anti-siphon holes. Is there anything else i should look for before I reinstall it? The float was not touched or adjusted before the rebuild also. The only numbers stamped are on the base at a mounting boss are 6D_B. Thanks for any advise.....
