1979 Fairmont Station Wagon, 3.3L, Six, Auto. Carburetor is extremely flooding. I rebuilt with kit, set float, the whole deal, but no improvement. Fuel pump checks OK. This thing is actually making puddles of fuel in the intake manifold... After I remove the carb you can look right into the manifold and see the fuel. any ideas?

I would recheck the float and the pump i recently put a new pump on my 79 and the new pump is a little different i ended up using a reman instead and it is a hair shorter than the original
