IML: 72 Runs Bad, Usually

[George Roller <gsroller54@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, wise ones:
My Imperial frustrates me so!  I bought this car in
March.  The previous owner bragged about putting a new
Edlebrock carb on this car, at great personal expense,
but he belived that it "needed tweeking".  I drove the
car 90 miles home without much problem.  I took it to
a carb expert garage that had it running just great. 
That is until it died suddenly, and would not start.
Some carb diddling ensued.  Different metering rods, 
some wimpier spings, a bending of the floats and all
seemed right with the world.  Ran great, Until I
started it the next day.  Now it is running real rich,
 backfiring, and dies occasionally. Cant really drive
it like this.  The garage thought that maybe the carb
is too big for the '72.  (it is a 75ocfm I think)
Is this possible.  Oh, I also noticed that two of the
vacuume hoses that run to the canister located in the
right front are just cut off.  This looks like an old
modification. Any thoughts?  Oh, I found the old Holly
rusting away in the leaking trunk.   Thanks   George
Roller.
