Fuel dumping out of the top of the CARB!!

hey guys i've got fuel POURING out of the top of the carb...it looks like a vent...if i stick something down in there.. i think i'm touching the float...now ...the car ran out of gas......i filled her back up...and then it wouldnt run....and had fuel pouring out of the top and draining into the secondaries......could this be a clogged float needle????is there a way around this ....without pulling apart the carb..

thanx

oh by the way its a 78 q-jet.....in good condition otherwise..
