What could be causing my 62 with a 235 engine to be hard to start after sitting for 4 or 5 days? Using the manual choke I have to grind the starter too long. If I start the truck every day there is no problem. Fuel Pump? Carburator Leaking down?

Welcome to our world. I run an Edlebrock and it's normal. We think that fuel evaporates out of the fuel bowl but that's just a guess. Holley never did it. Install a fuel pump at the tank if it really bothers you.
