Hmm this may belong in carb tech but it's for a 66 Mustang so I dunno

anyways the thing is that the carb is flooding like it has a flooded float bowl but I can't find a sight glass anywhere or a screw to set it but I noticed it says "Weber" on it also and I remember reading that some webers don't have floats, but I can see the fuel puddling and the car idles shitty and very rich.

what ever shall I do? anyone know about these carbs?

Don't know about the newer, performance carters, like you pictured, but the older ones didn't have an adjusting screw or site glass! I think you got a rebuild kit,(for gaskets and stuff), then pulled the top off, and bent the floats & tabs! LOL! Here's a link to a exploded veiw Exploded View of a Carter model AFB Carburetor (http://www.carburetorfactory.com/expvw04.html)
and this is a page from a real old chiltons manual(circa 1971)Carter AFB (http://members.nccw.net/heywood/Carter%20AFB.jpg)
It's not much, but all I got, good luck!

Anybody know what the huge bolt at the rear does?

it might be blocking off an unused port.

hmm the weber sets the float the same way... you have to bent 2 seperate tabs... one sets the lowest point of the float the other sets the highest point.
