Edelbrock Carb dripping fuel in after shut down..

Could be a few things:
- n/seat leaking. Could be deformed or have dirt in there.
- side of float rubbing on body or otherwise sticking.
- float has a leak. Remove & submerge in WARM water. Shake to see if any water got in.
- float level too high. Should be 7/16".
- fuel pressure too high. Despite what you might have read/heard, this carb design will work up to 10 psi.

An elec fuel pump is a good idea. The Carter 4594 would be the best & it does NOT need a reg.
