As far as your fueling problem, generally if you have one of those meter block gaskets that aren't sealing, you'd have a fuel flooding problem constantly while running, usually dripping off the boosters all the time, not just after shutdown.

My guess is your heat soak issue after shut down is just that, it's heat soak related. More than likely you'll find several solutions such as how hot you're running the car before shut down (engine temp) will have an affect, or whether or not you run a fuel return line. Whether you use a heat cross over or not. A thick or thin baseplate gasket or some form of heat insulator or spacer, or even a heat shield. A whole myriad of things will affect heat soak after shut down and it's usually a combination of a few or all the above to cure it.

Just some things to look at.

Old Spice??? Lol...

What color are the Holley gaskets, that are supposed to be the best for not sticking?
