Default 84 vette has excessive gas in throttle body?

dad had the air cleaner off the car and noticed when you turn the key on, gas spews out into the throttle body, not a spray, but a stream like a garden hose. is this normal? what could cause this if not.

thanks much~

I met this guy at Bloomington Gold a few years ago. I was drawn to his booth by the immaculate Crossfire setup that he had on display. I also learned that he is well trusted by Corvette owners in the Chicago area.

One TBI, or both? If just one, switch the connectors. Tell me if it still gushes in the same TBI, or if it gushes in the other one now.
