Will do maybe pressure regulator is to high didn’t check yet, I Noticed when I’m driving the car it’s driving fine then when I stop that’s when the carburetor starts to overflow because it is running directly from battery to pump with the switch on and off so every time I stop the car I have to turn the switch off cause carb starts to overflow is that normal for direct power for the carb to flood while at a light

I believe the ECM provides the power to the fuel pump relay to get it started then after that the oil pressure sender powers the fuel pump relay. So your problem is likely in the three-terminal plug at the oil pressure sender.
The CrossFire Injection has three wires grounded to the lid bolt right in front of the EGR valve and if that ground connection is loose the injectors will start blowing a LOT of fuel into the intake manifold. Another cause of blowing a LOT of fuel is when the 4-wire plug behind your HEI has a bad connection. A manual switch powering the fuel pump will never cause the injectors to blow fuel.

Am I the only one confused? I think the apples and oranges have been pureed on this one.
Sorry, I went back and saw previously on post #10 that you said you had a carb installed. Since all 82's were fuel injected I had that stuck in my brain. I don't know the complications involved with this modification so I'll back out now and leave it to the experts/modder's. Good luck!

You should be able to crank your engine and let it sit there idling until you run out of gas and have no problems with fuel coming out of the carb.
