After loving my new cutlass for two weeks my Carb started acting up spitting gas from the primarys and the small tube in the front of the Carb so here is my chance to jump feet first into into the mystical and magical world of the Carb

Where 'from the primarys' are you talking about and what 'small tube in front' are you refering to? And of course the ultimate question; what carb?

Maybe you just have a stuck float?

It was a stock q-jet when the car would stall gas would blow out around the choke plate and there is a small tube in front of that that looks like it has a small valve glas flowed out of that there I so much grime in the Carb it needed a good cleaning

Good for you, wish I had the time and space. The carb on my 3.8 recently stated leaking, I purchased rebuilt.

Just don't buy a cheap POS rebuild kit from a chain store, those are all garbage these days.
