Carburetor leaking fuel!!!

This is what they look like. And they're actually a little trickier to get seated properly than you might think. Some Holley's have a teeny weeny little lip over on the inside of where the gasket seats and if you don't get down there and look the gasket sits on top of it funny and you get a drip.

No brass filter and no lip on the fuel bowl inlet. Any specific torque on the 4 fuel bowl bolts? Or, is it a 'common sense & feel' torque value? I assume after a couple of engine cycles I will need to re-check the tightness on the bolts?

Don't muscle it, just crank it down firm, and a little more, but nothing spectacular. Remember, it's just holding in 6 psi of pressure. On the other hand, you don't want it dripping.
