Fuel squirting out
Car running like crap today and when i diconnected the fuel line from the carb (edelbrock) it sprayed fuel a stream went as far as over the fender it was deff pressurized and i have a clear fuel filter and could see many bubbles it seemed to percolate large and small after i shut the car off... The car wont idle right its stggers and a few other idle issues...is this from an air leak or a pin hole somewhere in the fuel line? And wher should i look? thanks

Sounds normal, since there is some fuel pressure that can stay in the line to the carb. So when you disconnect it, it can spray out.

The bubbles are most likely fuel vapor that is formed in the line and then trapped in the high spot of the filter. Totally normal, and especially on a hot soak. That's the second problem with a clear filter - you can see the bubbles where if you had a steel filter, you wouldn't see them. Oh yeah, first problem is they have a reputation for burning your car to the ground.
 If they are actually air bubbles, then it has to be on the siphon side of the pump. Most likely place is the short section of rubber hose between tank and hard line at the back of the car.
