Leaking Venturi Boosters / Edelbrock Performer 1404

What type of fuel pressure regulator/guage do you have ? A quality unit or generic knock off like the ones summit, jegs, etc. sell that are not very accurate. What is the history of your carb? bought new,used or rebuilt? If pressure is accurate would almost have to be debris blocking needle & seat like camd64 stated. Had your same problem on a 800cfm eddy and turned out to be inaccurate summit pressure guage which was reading 6psi and turned out to actually be 9.5 when finally traced problem.

Fuel pressure regulator is a new $32 Mr. Gasket; think the odds of getting a bad one would be like hitting the Lotto! Just bought the car from a guy with a rebuilt 318 and a new Performer Manifold & Carb., I have had the carb apart three times now and it looks virtually new inside & out.
