Just got a carb rebuilt for the 302 on the mustang at napa. Worked nice for a day and now gas is shooting out of the carb. Changed the float, tapped on the bowl and no luck. Is there anything else i should check??

If it worked OK for a day and now it's shooting out of the carb it probably wont be a float adjustment. It probably has a peice of trash in between the needle and seat/ Has the car been sitting for an extended period of time?
You need your fuel pressure to be a max of about 6.5psi at idle.

Best trap 107.11mph, we'll see what the new intake/carb setup does.

An adjustable FPR. Some pumps are internally regulated to the correct pressure, but it's not always easy to check without a gauge. You need to check yours though. But you said it was fine at first, so either something fubar'd or you got trash in the needle and seat like Portmaster mentioned.
