I think I have a vacuum leak somewhere which will account for the low vacuum pressure of 15 psi. Ill double check the intake and fuel pump block-off when the weather gets better. Man, I need a heated shop! God Bless you all....

Rich and a vacuum leak are working in different directions. A vacuum leak would normally lead to lean condition, so correcting it would cause it to be even more rich. Of course you need to correct both issues. The carburetor issue could be from many internal leak sources, incorrect float level, needle valve not seating, etc.
