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.....
