Gas pouring out of carb
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?

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.
