I have posted this quite a few times before and here it is again.
If you can find rebuild kits with neoprene tip needle valves, you will have no leak by when the engine is turned off. They will also hold 8 lb. of fuel pressure.

A little known fact, on a 276 ci or bigger engine, 3 Stromberg 97's will go dry at full throttle after 3 seconds with only the popular 2 lb of fuel pressure. 3 seconds at full throttle is actually a LONG time so most people do not notice it.
6 lb will keep everything going.
