Carburator Help

Yes another carb question.
Ford 2bbl on '68 360.

I was fooling around with the auto choke on it today when I found out the carb is leaking at the accl pump area. It is dripping and not pouring out. I only see it drip when I move the peddle linkage and the accl pump arm moves. Running or turned off.

I am thinking it is the accel pump gasket. Any other thoughts?? Anything I need to look for.

Do I need to buy an entire rebuild kit to get the accl pump and gasket? Do local parts stores typically sell them. My new job has me working 6am to 7pm ish (2-3 hours from home) or I would just go to the parts store and ask. FYI I do not bother with AutoZone or PepBoys unless someone tells me for sure they have something.

Thank you

Maybe its the diaphragm of the accel pump? You could always just get a full kit and clean/rebuild all of it. Then you know for sure what it would be. I'm not sure if you can buy single parts or not, so i'm no help on that subject, and if you don't really have time to go pick anything up grab a kit from the net and have it shipped.

You used to be able to buy accelrator pump kits seperate when these engines were plentiful. Don't know about now since I just do the entire carb every 5 to 8 years.
