As a guy who has run a 6bbl engine for over 40 years I can tell you to keep an eye on the holley carb... I've transitioned to the holley blue gaskets and all ethanol resistant needle/seat assemblies as well as the accelerator pump diaphragm..I go many years without issues now....Without those newer components it was a battle every year with gas leaks and the needle/seat assembly O rings giving it up and dumping fuel past them into the engine doing exactly what you're describing.. The blue Holley gaskets are good ones as are the pink Superformance ones. The Holleys are usually handier as most auto supplies can order Holley parts and have them the next day if they don't already stock them unlike the Superformance gaskets. .
Master, again and still
