Can't stress enough how edelbrock carbs are funny about fuel pressure.

Yep -- the electric FP and Edelbrock carb is the issue. Fuel pressure regulator is a must for those carbs. Too much pressure can cause what youre describing with it dumping gas down the bowls too.

If you read up more on that carb, it will also tell you you'll need a carb spacer or the heat will radiate up through the body of the carb itself and cause vapor lock (fuel is boiling in the bowls)

Not only that, Edelbrock recommends their $100+ fuel pump for it. A stock mechanical fuel pump is too much for a 1406 / 1407. I can only imagine what kind of pressure the electric pump is pushing to it.

I see two options for you my friend -- change to a Holley, or a fuel pressure regulator ( a good one) which negates the benefits you'll see from the electric pump.
