LOL! I remember the first edlebrock carb I put on was seeping fuel out of the carb gasket(the one that connects the top of the carb to the bottom. NOT the carb/intake gasket)...That may have been the issues was overboil of fuel...not sure...I'll see about digging up a picture...if I find on you'll have to look fairly hard. In the picture...look hard at the front center of the carb on the left and right front..you'll see a slight discoloration...that is fuel. It kinda looks orange in the picture. Since I put the other new one on(I returned the one that was seeping fuel) I haven't had this issue....we'll see what happens when temps are over 90.

Kool Headers TJ!
