The driver side upper bolt for the rear bowl was loose and just sitting there. COuld this cause a vacuum leak or something else?

Thanks

Are you working on a Holley? If so check youtube, Holley has some really use full videos, one that I recently watched recommended 3.5 psi for fuel pressure. Your issue could be too much pressure but I would suspect if that were the case you would be flooding. When it's at operating temp and you shut it off is it steaming for the carb? If so it maybe running over.
