more '82 300 problems.
Would i be better off rebuilding my 1bbl on my 82 300 and getting the EGR to work rihgt or would i just be better off setting it up to run no EGR and a 2bbl carb. At this point i dont care and just want to get the thing running.
Also it is addding so much gas that i can see it filling up the intake under the carb. So much infact that the truck wont even fire now.
my 250 bux ispent on it was better before i tried to fix things. AT least it ran like crap before now it dont even start let alone run

Would be cheaper to fix the EGR, and 1BBL carb.
Sounds like the Float valve is stuck open, or the float sank, or out of adjustment even, but you would have to confirm that, by taking the top of the carb off.
It could even be the power valve ripped open. A carb kit would fix that too.
I would buy a carb kit, and rebuild the carb. You can also buy floats as well if the float sank..
Just my two cents.

I agree with Explorer 100%. But i'd also like to add. Those 1bbl Carter/Motorcraft/Holley carbs are prone to leaking around the throttle shaft. If it is dumping fuel straight around the base of the carb. Then that is most likely your problem.
I've had several do this to me, and i've either always had to replace the base of the carb with a junkyard part (Will need a rebuild kit for this, so you'll have the gaskets.) or just swap the carb entirely.
Hopefully its something easy like a bad power-valve or a sunk float. Good luck on getting er' fixed.

well looks like i'll be headed to o'rileys tomorrow to pick up and or order a carb kit and a float.
it cant hurt to rebuild it and add a new float. I still need to figure out the vacuum mess i have going on
