Hi group,
I have a 74 Jensen Interceptor with a 440 and Thermoquad, so I'm hoping to
get a little carb advice from the Chrysler community.
The car starts, runs, and idles perfectly.
The problem is that when I shut off the engine, gas continues to dribble
into the primaries of the carb and really stinks- and I assume this is also
dangerous. It does this for maybe 5 minutes- long enough for gas to build
up in the carb and begin to drip out through the throttle plate bushings
onto the hot intake!!
I removed the air horn of the carb, and the float levels appear normal, so
it doesn't appear to be a stuck float situation. The gas is coming from
either the idle ports or high speed ports (or both), not from the
accelerator pump jets.
Are some check balls stuck from sitting too long this winter? 
For those unfamiliar with the Interceptor, it has no electric fuel pump or
anything else foreign to the Chrysler drive train, which is why I'm asking
for "Chrysler" help with this problem.
I don't mind doing a carb rebuild, just looking for advice as to what may be
wrong so I don't miss it during the rebuild.
Thanks,
JOhn
