Default Is this normal for a Q-jet?

I normally run Holleys on my cars but since this particular car is a matching #,s 4 speed 69 GTO Im running a Q-jet on it to keep it original. The problem Im having is if the car sits for more than 2 days the fuel bowl is empty and I have to prime the carb or wear out my starter cranking it to fill it back up. I had sent this carb to Cliff to put in the screw in plugs in the wells so hopefully its not draining out when shut off. My Holley equipped cars can go over a week and still have fuel in them to start.
