HALP Quadrajet dribbling

[Gary Derian]

Carb dribbling is usually caused by a sunk float or a leaky inlet needle.
Also, Q-jets are notorious for leaky plugs on the bottom of the float bowl.
Kits are available to stop this.  The plugs are visible on the bottom of the
carb  when the throttle base plate is removed.
