my 75 is in the middle of a restoration, and as i went out to let it run a bit i noticed a lot of fuel, almost a steady stream coming out of the pass side on the rear of the carb, on the bottom of the carb where the secondary is. theres 4 small bolts holding a small plate and its coming from there. i havent yet done any deeper investigating, thought id get some better advice 1st.
im thinking i can just replace that gasket, but it looks like the carb would have to be removed, and im just not ready for all that.
advice please, thanks

Could you take a photo and post it? I'm guessing you have a Quadrajet but it's been so long since I've looked at one I don't remember what that area of the carb looks like. If it's a different carb any make and model number info would be great.
