>The strange part is this:  fuel was coming
 out of the intake hole (throttle body I think it is called) and plenty of
 it.  I pulled the plug on the bottom of the carb and only about a
tablespoon
 came out not the expected half cup that should of been there.  If you look
 in the throttle body part of the car there is a lot of fuel, enough that
it
 is running out and cover the outside of the carb. >><

>From what I understand about these carbs is there has to be an opening to
the atmosphere if it is blocked the gasoline flows in under pressure from
being pumped by the fuel pump and this will force the gas up the jet
assembly. hence little fuel in the float bowl and gas is flowing out the
carb body (throttle body not, throttle bodys are fuel injector parts)
