Every set of dual Holleys I've seen has the primaries at the back, simply because the distributor is at the front, and you can't fit a Holley facing forward.

It is the Primary sides flooding the engine on sudden stops in this scenario.

So all things need to be addressed, bowl vent whistles installed on primary and secondary, extended vent tubes or alternative options for bowl vents, correct or "just under" float levels, idle mixture and speed adjusted correctly, etc.
