Re: Holley carb rebuilt, now both floats sank!
 

sounds like the springs that are on the floats are in wrong... happened to me once as well... fuel spewing out the vents...

For what it's worth, I've noticed that holley needle/seat assys are pretty sensitive to fuel pressure too. Seems like anything over 5 psi would unseat the needle and flood the carb, thats happened to me twice when using pressure regulated electric pumps.

I've also had trouble with the generic needle/seat assemblies...

It was 'user error' and the float springs were in wrong. I got the car fired up yesterday but the aftermarket chrome fuel line is so bent up it won't seal properly and I have a slow leak. I ordered up a repro fuel line setup which should solve the leak issue and fit correctly. Then I'll be able to take the car out for a test drive.
