I have a fuel leak at the carb. It appears to me to be coming from where the filter housing attaches to the carb body, and not from the fuel line from the fuel pump. FWIW, I am using this fuel line from Applied. http://www.appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/853

I had a spare parts quadrajet, and robbed the filter housing from there. That did not fix the leak.

I am not sure how to fix this. But obviously it needs to get fixed as I am not driving the coach with gas dripping onto the motor. I am really not ready to put fuel injection on at this point, but is it going to take a card rebuild? I am willing to go that far if needed. But I wanted to find out if there may be a simpler/cheaper solution first.
