:eek: Are 100% sure it's gas?
That sounds kind of impossible b/c the injectors are in the manifold base and even if they were to spray w/ the valve closed, the runners are very long and it'd be hard for fuel to reach all the way up to the plenum.

Gas in liquid form? Fuel puddling?
Suspect you fuel pressure regulator has a leaky diaphragm.

The only place raw gas can come from is the charcoal canister or something that has to do with it - sounds like yours may be done for - I'd remove it and see if there's gas in it, particularly if your Vette has a lot of miles.

The bad diaphragm allows pressurized fuel past it.. and the vacuum line to the FPR will suck it into the plenum.
