Bump...
My '74 Fury 400 was a hot start and flooding nightmare when I went to a Thermoquad and Edelbrock intake. I swapped out the steel line for an insulated stainless mesh covered fuel line from the mechanical pump to the carb. Of course the composite body on the Thermoquad was designed to eliminate heat soak transfer to the fuel bowls but even with that, the big block generated so much heat that the only cure was to keep the fuel line cool. You not only cook the fuel in the bowls but the fuel gets cooked in the line from the pump to the carb. My only problem now is COLD starting! Always has been a bear... crank for 20 -30 seconds and then runs like cr*p for 4 minutes... IF it even starts.
how is your choke set up? On my 318, unless the choke is firmly shut, it'll just crank 
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
