I also discovered that it took much too long for my Firebird (original mechanical fuel pump) to fire off after sitting for more than a couple of days. The solution for me was to install a small fuel line check valve just prior to the carburetor. The difference was dramatic. Now, even after sitting for 2-3 weeks or more, it fires up like a champ.
