Default Re: Quadrajet issue

OK so I've got the car now, yeah it'll burn your eyes at idle, checked for PP operation piston is pulled down with engine running. So I start looking around and looking down the carb I see liquid fuel dropping on the throttle blades, little on the left, lots on the right, so I'm thinking floats sunk or too high. Pulled carb removed top and level looks normal to me, however I don't have any height chart to work off of. It's been prolly 20 years since I've even seen a Qjet but this looks like it has a cavity for an Mixture control solenoid which has been covered with an alum. plate siliconed in place. carb number is gone (ground off) any general deminsion for the float height? Since it doesn't LOOK high and the throttle blades had minimum opening, any ideas why it's pulling fuel over? Acts just like a holley with a high float level. Thanks Joe
