it was leaking so i took it apart and noticed that the float was not adjusted right and the float needle was sticking so i rebuilt it. now it's good, but has a little seepage. not really a leak, but it's wet around the float bowl gasket.
i will be buying a new carb for this car cause the seepage is caused by a small crack from the other guy over tightening things
i just want to get it running before i spend money on it. i have a 350 that is gonna get thrown in soon, but i need a car to get to work. as soon as i get a job.

got it running ok
well not really ok, but it drove around the block 3 times. i've got more problems then what i thought.
timing was way off, and all that other stuff that i already knew.
tranny is fried, kept slipping. couldn't even do a burn out in the dirt. oh and the oil was a little milky looking.
i'm gonna stop playing with the inline 6 and just drop my 350 in. damn the chevy II with it's front sump oil pan bullshit.
