F-14,the fun begins

I reaquired a 39 F-14 my family had at one time.The gentleman who bought it from us accually worked it for a couple of years and then did a somewhat poor restoration,paint and body work wise anyways,but did rebuild the engine.When he painted it he basically just sandblasted it,shot a coat of primer then painted it.SOME of what he did accually looks good,but time has taken its toll,evidentally he use a poor quality of paint,so thatll have to go.there are a few broken peices and some missing parts,but I think i have a good lead on a cheap parts tractor so that wont be that big of a deal providing its not missing the same parts I need.Last year,when I got it back,I had to rebuild the head,and everything in it id good and you could tell the pistons and sleeves had been changed.Since I got it back I have put maybe 20 hrs on it.I changed the oil when I first got it back,but when I was checking it today it had gotten WAY overful and smelled of gas.I drained down to the upper petcock about a quart and then down to the lower petcock before deciding to completely drain and refill it and change the filter.I left it to drain for a couple of hours to make sure i get a much of this potent mix out as I can.my question is,assuming the receipts I was showed for the engine kit were authenic,could this much gas have gotten by the rings in such a short time of running.Would a problem in the fuel pump cause this much to get by it.It runs great onceI can get it started.I think I may have a weak mag on it and usually end up pulling it off to get it running.Also,what parts are available through Napa for these.I know about Rice,but if I need something quick,Napa would be my first choice. Iknow the engine kit was bought through one local Napa,but I dont know any of the specifics and plan to go by Monday after work.Thansk for input!
