No gas -when starting cold

Guest

My '72 won't start when the motor is cold unless I pour a little gas directly into the carb and then it will keep running. Then I can shut it off and it will start. After it has been running a little while it seems to run rich. I have replaced the carb with a new one several times already. I tried Holley at first (3 of them) and after a little while gas was dripping into the back bowls always. So then I went to an Edlebrock and it is a lot better but it seems to be getting richer, but no dripping into the back two bowls at idle. I put a high volume pump on it and I think that may be the problem. Too much pressure? I herd from several people that I need to put a 7 lb fuel regulator on it. Any one have any ideas?
