Finally stopped being frustrated. I wish that was the case but I hand filled with gas cans. Sat and thought about it and came up with maybe some causing factors; I was sold a chandler94 rebuilt carb from Joe Smith Automotive and after more research I read that it wasn't the correct carb for a 48 59AB. Don't know any info about jet size or anything like that. Another thought was that the gas neck which fits in the filler grommet is about half in of what it could be, couldn't get it to go in any farther and it seemed sealed but I could be wrong. Gotta get sleep before class even though I will be thinking in my mind of nothing but the ford! Ken thanks for info; I see it as that even if it doesnt solve the problem, its still useful as in knowledge about these cars I could use in the future.
