on trucks from 73-87 and blazers fuels lines are close to the headers (unless there TBI) and on shutdown the heat under hood combined with heat from the headers can cause the fuel to boil and push into the carb then causing flooding and the need for WOT this has happened to me with 4 different trucks this era. make a heatshield for the fuel line or run a pump with a return if you can has fixed this for me all 4 times eather way works good
somethin you might want to check. GL

Thanks for your input Zac, Have all that covered, Fuel lines rerouted using fuel injection hose,  Edl 1.5" wood  spacer, Edl fuel pump that bleeds off pretty quick after shutdown. The fuel pump was the best help so far.

Thanks Craig
