Did see the speedo move as I backed it up and down the driveway - because I could not in good conscience drive the car. It is definitely running rich as Bill Gates. Inside of the tailpipes (after, like, 70 miles) are black, and it was spitting liquid out while at idle - even after it was running for 5-10 minutes. It smokes at idle and when I give it throttle, meaning it's not the idle mixture screws (which I couldn't find anyway) - perhaps the float stuck, or something like that. It's causing the car to idle high at idle, probably because it's getting so much fuel.
I'm thinking this is pointing to a carb rebuild for me. Doubt it's ever even been off the car.
