I had an old 1 barrel holley on my van and every time I shut it off a little fuel would leak out the bottom of the carb, looked like by the shaft that ran through the bottom. I just replaced the carb for other reasons and still this brand new one does the same thing. Could this be because of somthing else?

You will want to do the Fuel line mod. Is it really a brand new carburetor, or is it a "remanufactured" one from a parts store?

The float may be a little too high so when it boils over it will come out the shaft. Dan's fuel mod will help and a correctly adjusted float.
