The intake had been sitting awhile, I just wanted to assure it wasn't warped. As for the fuel issue, it doesn't have standing fuel in the carb while idling if that's what you mean, and gives it fuel as soon as you give it throttle, so I'm not sure how a quadrajet could over-fuel the engine, but I suppose it's possible.
