Edelbrock # 1406 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just got though putting in a new engine in the 72. Everything worked perfect until the carb started acting up. It looks like there is fuel leaking around the carb and is puddling up on top of the intake manifold. I checked the nuts on the intake studs for the carb and they were tight. I might have a bad gasket which I will check on this afternoon. I doubt that this is the problem though so this is why I am posting.

The truck is flooding out horribly. I have to keep the RPM's above 2500 while stopped to keep her running. I am wondering if the vacuum to the carb is giving problems in that it is leaving the secondaries wide open? Anybody out there ran into a problem like this?
