You do have the thick insulating gasket between the carb and manifold ?....if not, the fuel will boil away after shut down

I usually run an electric fuel pump on my own trucks...wired thru a shut off switch that hidden away...helps deter the "midnight spares" crowd....

A Qjet won't drain back through the fuel pump as the needle and seat are not on the bottom of the float bowl.

I had cliff Ruggles build my Quadrajet. If it sits for 3 or 4 days it has to crank quite a bit. 1 or 2 days and it starts right up.
