Carb Troubles

I have a stock 302 in a 89 mustang thats carburated w/ a air gap four barrel

intake. The Carb of choice was a 650 Holley double pumper. I cannot get the engine to run right? You can adjust the carb and timing, but nothing changes.

Runs very, very rich and have to change spark plugs after 4-5 min of running.

The car runs great while it runs out of gas?

I'd start by checking for vacuum leaks. If nothing changes when you adjust it (like screwing the mixture screws all the way in or something) it's probably pulling air in somewhere else and will not be able to meter the fuel correctly.

 

If this is an old carb check around the carb itself for leaks (especially the throttle shaft), as that's an often overlooked source of vacuum leaks.

I have replaced both floats, needle and seats, cleaned the metering blocks, replaced

the power valve. Everything is adjusted correctly.
