Help, Nikki keeps flooding!

So I finally have my car running again..... I know it has taken a while but I haven't had any time to work on the car in the last couple months.
So after changing the seats and needles with no results, I bought a new fuel pressure regulator. I bought a mallory with a return, figuring it would be better than my professional products returnless regulator. Well this didn't help either. So next step, floats, apparently that was my problem. I'm not sure if it was the primary, secondary, or both floats that were defective. But I changed both anyway, and my carb isn't flooding anymore.
I'm so excited, it feels like I haven't driven it in forever. Now I just have to do an oil change, replace the teflon tape on my fittings for the regulator because they are leaking, and I can finally take the car for a drive!

Glad you got it goin... i had a nikki on my 85, and it was nothing but nightmares. i spent a year trying to rebuild it... bought a rebuilt one and it still didnt work...
so i ended up scrapping the whole intake system and went with the "rotary shack" intake and weber carb.... it is amazing how much more simple everything is now... screw a nikki if you get the oportunity, change it!
