used 4160 carb oss smallblockposse I found it to be in bad shape and bought a renew kit and redid everything with blue gaskets new diaphrams & power valves and slightly smaller jets. new needles and seats too, but I did find that the shaft on the baseplate for the secondaries is slightly bent causing it to leak onto the intake but thats another problem in its self.

What do you mean " what did you do before you bolted it on"?
I put a new cam intake heads lifters springs and pushrods and went form a 600 edelbrock to using this carb for the first time. Carb runs rich as hell and has problems(I think its junk) and its overheating.
Could the new thermostat have already gone bad.
