The Ford Barn

My 31 has a Tollitson carb on it but slowly drips. I took it apart and reworked as best I could before installation as it had been rebuilt years ago and never used. Also my indented cowl gas shut off has a slow leak. It seemed to resist removal and I was afraid it might break. Is there a way to stop the Tollitson leak? If I buy a Zenith how can I be sure it wont leak? I had one in another car that leaked. Where is the best place to buy a Zenith? Ebay has them but really high priced. So far Ive had a 30 tudor sedan, a 30 Cabriolet, a 30 Coupe, a 30 pickup, another 30 coupe and now a 31 coupe. Only 2 leaked like this.
