Needle & seat had a piece of debree & caused your carb to overflow w/fuel.

X2 - hopefully it will clean up with carb cleaner and the overflow problem will be over.
But that problem brings up some food for thought. Any car with a carb can have the 'overflow' problem - do you have a fire extinguisher in the garage? I'd even advise to keep one in the trunk, mounted of course, once you get it on the road. I'm sure that some/many/most of the guys helping you out on this forum have had a carb fire at some point. And the straight six GM with carb directly above the exhaust manifold is susceptable to a problem.
I'd hate to see you have a disaster, especially with that Buick - that is a GREAT car in GREAT shape
- I love Buicks (I'm working on a '64 Wildcat presently.) I've been looking for a Skylark or Special, but none of them in Northeast look like yours.
T Lowe is right - drive like an adult and be safe, and do me a favor - get an extinguisher.
Be safe and think HEI!
