Welcome Marauder64,

You have a whole lot of tech buddies here and Bosswrench is one of the best.

I too had the original carb on my car but changed it out for other reasons.

I am not home right now I am in Dallas TX but I will be home in 2 days. I bought a carb rebuild kit from AutoZone (tell them 351c mustang or torino) it is not hard to do, when I get home I will upload you the photo/scan of the instruction page and part number of the kit I used.

I do have long arms but I found out if you blanket the exterior, pull the engine screen off, and close the rear decklid, stand on a couple of 2x10s... it is not to bad, in case you don't want to get inside the engine bay on the kneeling stand.

As for the leak it could be the pump look for stains on the carb, as for the empty bowl in the morning it could be the leak or it runs down the inside of the intake. Take the carb off and rebuild it. PM me with your e-mail and I will send you some files on what I have.
