Hi all, here is my problem. I have a 54 150 sedan. My dad helped me get this thing running after sitting in the weeds for 40 years. The car ran like a new car! The carb does have issues though. It leaks really really bad down the back side closest to the firewall. It stopped for a while then started back up again. Is this common? Dad says it could be the float sticking. If it isn't, is there another 1 bbl carb that you all would suggest I put on that doesn't require a ton of mods to work? Dad doesn't want to rebuild because he says it may be warn out so bad.


I may be young but I'm willing to try and learn, which is better than being old and thinking you know it all... I'm looking in your direction dad.
