this xe of mine has a 302 with 600 holley and is standard, now apart from driving it home overheating, pissing and f@rt when i bought it, i havent been able to drive it yet and im about to blow up,
it came with a quadrajet on it, which was rebuilt by the last owner if you can call it rebuilt, float was bent up to s**t and it was leaking fuel everywhere, bought a 600 vac sec holley with adaptor plate for 250, was told it was fine to put str8 on, did that, p****d fuel everywhere, got a rebuild kit, another 80 bucks, rebuilt it, still leaks a bit of fuel, and wont run, apart from taking to the car with a bat can anyone tell me where to get this carb looked at that wont charge me 300 for a rebuild like some places i have been to? i just want my car running, i have had it a couple months now and it hasnt even left my driveway 
thanks for listening to my whinge

are you sure its the carb
wheres the fuel leak are there any vacuum leaks is it fitted correctly fuel pressure ok does accelerator pump work does it idle does it sort of stay alive does it go and stay alive does it stay alive if someone puts fuel in it by hand - be very careful doing this , and if your in doubt do not do it all a rebuild is , is clearing out all pasages , gaskets , power valves ,seats, float levels , checking that shaft bores are ok and surfaces are flat- were these done right |

carb was put together by me and i was meticulous, fuel is leaking from beneath the carb where it bolts to adapter plate, then it stopped, the car now seems to run, wont idle by itself, and is running rough,
Cheers

it sounds like you rebuilt it properly
apart from the leak(which you said stopped) id guess vacuum leak- was the base flat, tightening carb down too hard bends corners check where the vacuum hoses go |

not too sure about hosing as i havnt looked for a while
you should only feel vacuum in the one going to dissy when your a fair bit off idle , all others should be blocked if not used for anything block the ones coming from under the carb to tappet covers, air filter or what ever and see how it idles- set the idle high (1500) to make it easier |

Distributor vacuum advance line comes from the side of the carby near the idle mixture adjustment screw other vacuum lines should be blocked off.
