Stock 1979 360 with Speedmaster head question

Krooer, you would have liked some of our side-of-the road emergency repairs in rallies. One event, the float in the carb broke off flooding the carb. We were 20-30 miles from the finish, so I just turned the fuel pump on 'til the engine started to choke, then turned it off 'til it started to die.. all while driving a wooded stage road at speed and shifting etc. LOL

Then there was that beaver dam.....
