Carb Leaking

Hi,

It was suggested I post a new thread for this by another user. I have a '69 C30 I just picked up and am trying to sort before harvest this fall.

Current issues:

1- Was running really rich. When I opened up the hood, I noticed the fuel filter looked like a really old one. Also, I noticed a fuel leak coming from the back secondary(?) throttle control. Not sure what brand carb this is. Researching this site, it sounds like a possible float issue, but not sure, and quite frankly not sure of the process for taking this apart to check.

Here is a pic of where it is leaking.

4 bbl - 350 - guessing Edelbrock

Any help/instructions on the process of taking this apart and putting it back together to check the float are appreciated.
