Thanks for the discussion guys. This is a great site! I have an
Edelbrock performer series carburetor. Out of curiosity I called the
Edelbrock techs. He said that the fuel is most likely evaporating. I
have a hard time believing that because it didn't do it when I first got the
car. I have an inline filter with a movable interior that was dry after
the car had sat for a couple days. Is it meant to hold the fuel in the
line when the engine is off? If so it might just be a simple in line fuel
filter replacement.

Wouldn't a worn needle and seat cause this as well? I had
issues with
this years ago in my '56 Chevy pickup.
