Now that's interesting.   The float bowl must be vented to allow easy =
fuel
flow.=20
=20
The Autolite has 2 vent tubes inside the air cleaner and 1 outside.  Why =
was
the outside vent needed?
=20
Still this matters little if fuel is being pumped out the vents and =
there is
a backfire.  You still have a fire.

The cause of the fuel pumping out has to be fixed first no matter what =

Seems to me that the float bowl must be vented to atmosphere in some =
manner,
for the carb to function. The old Ford carburetors went the simplest =
route
they could, vented right on top of the bowl cover. The very easiest fix =
is
to install one of the small Holley 2 BBL carbs which have the vent =
system
inside the air filter ring area on the top of the carb.  Either the 350 =
or
500 cfm versions work well.  =20
