A real possibility for leakage is if the stock fuel pump is still on the car and it is overpowering the float valve of the carb. The stock pump puts out about 28 PSI, while carbs tend to run best with a pressure of about 3 to 3-1/2 PSI. Still, if you must use carbs, the dual Weber or Del's are much, much, much better than the single carb, particularly if it's the Pinto 2 barrel. There are setups for a center-mounted single Weber IDF or DelOrto, but the long runners tend to cause feed problems.
HTH.
