Bought a brand new never used holley street avenger carb off c list for 200 went to put it on and fuel leaks at the inlets. This was using rubber fuel hose to the holley inlet nipples went to oreilley and got the mr.gasket fuel rail that comes with its own inlet pieces to accept the an fittings. No combination of holley this mr gasket this would work. It would either leak at the rail to inlet fitting or the inlet to carb fitting. And only on the rear one basically and yes I did switch them and it just continues to leak in the rear.
What is the best way to remedy this situation ASAP
Thanks Cafords

You might have crud in the threads on the fuel bowl causing it not to seal or the taper seal on the fuel bowl is jacked causing fuel to leak. Check it out and clean it up. Worse case you may need to buy a new fuel bowl, $50. While Teflon tape would work on threads, it's not going to help your leak issue since the seal is on the fuel line.
