It may be possible since you mentioned that the carb has been rebuilt a few times that the overhaul kit used may be incorrect. i would start with a new quality overhaul kit specifically. Designed for your year make and model. Try and locate a Delco overhaul kit. I had good luck using Quadrajetparts.com for all parts and gaskets.
