My Quadrajet is leaking gas. I pulled the carb after taking it for a ride and the two well plugs that are visible are wet with gas. The carb is a 1970 (7040264 VB 2869). The car is a 68 HO with a 350. The car seems to run fine.
I recently had the carb rebuilt and the well plugs were sealed with some sort of 2-part epoxy. It was done by a local carburetor guy that was recommenced to me. I told him about the leaking issue and he said that sometimes the metal becomes porous that there isn’t much that can be done. Is this true? Any recommendations?
