Hi Brian,
Sorry I can't help on the fuel problem, but I think I have a pressure
problem similar to what you had with the 750.
Where did you get your regulator and what brand is it?

Regards,
Ken

Subject: AFB carb problem


I just installed a pair of professionally restored 625 cfm carbs on my 
Max Wedge.  When I shut off the engine gas seeps across the tops of the 
accelerator pump squirters and across the top of each secondary venturi.

  The gas puddles 1/8" - 3/16" in the carb body under the counter 
weights for the secondaries.   I'm running the Mopar / Carter race fuel 
pump.  I thought maybe the 8 psi was too much for the floats to handle, 
because that's the problem I had with the Edelbrock 750 that was on my 
old 413.   Last night I installed the fuel pressure regulator from the 
413 and set it at 5.5 psi.  Same problem when I shut off the engine 
after running it for just 10 minutes.  I'm thinking that the float level

is too high, but I'm reluctant to tear down 2 beautiful carbs on just a 
hunch.  Has anyone had similar problems?
