Default Need some help from Carb guys

Hey I'm helping out a friend with an 83 crabed 5.0. He removed his carbon canister and all its components but now has fuel pooring out the back of the carb from one of the hoses that went to the carbon canister. Does anyone know how to re route the hoses for the carb after removing the canisters thanks. Heres a pic of the hose I mean the rear hose

those are vent hoses for the bowls, if the float level is adjusted properly that shouldn't happen

I believe I do. The one with the lock nut on the drivers side of the carb. If I loosen it then it lets less gas tighten more gas?

if it lets gas come rolling out then tighten down the lock nut until it just barely seeps out

You might want to pull the needle valve and clean it. Probably a piece of dirt in there.
