59 D100 318 CARBURETOR

HELLO ALL!
I have a 59 D100 with original 318, 2BBL Stromberg.
The trouble is, no matter how much I lean the carb out, it sucks gas - runs rich. I'm at altitude in Reno, NV, and I have thought of trying to find new jets (God knows where....or maybe one of youse guys do!), and have rebuilt the carb 3 times to no avail. Today I'm pulling the float check valve out to see if it's seating properly, but I'm skeptical. Don't want to buy a new carb, but if I must I'm hoping someone here can recommend the carb.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

If it's not flooding caused by a bad float in the carb, I'm betting you have a vacuum leak somewhere in the engine.
