Re: Quadrajet fuel drips

A QJet has very sensitive primary boosters. A mentioned before it could be fuel/pressure or float level related. Did you replace the float during the rebuild? Its an extra cost option. Factory floats can lose some bouancy.
How does the engine run? If you've opened up the primarys to raise idle speed it could cause them to start pulling fuel at an idle if there's enough airflow through there.
