Nice to know that there is someone close(ish) by. This 71 was  converted to 
carbs. I do have one question. It is running rich and flooding  out. I 
already figure the carbs require cleaning and rebuild. My question is,  when 
looking down the throat while running, should the fuel be dripping or a  fine 
spray? I noticed this when revving it up too. Not so much a squirt of  fuel, 
but bigger drips.
 
Try shutting off the engine, and see IF you still have drips coming out.  
If so, then your float level is set to high, or you have too much fuel pump  
pressure.
 
Oh, and welcome to the list. : )
