If it has a Q jet, it is common for the metering wells to drain into the intake. Will take some cranking to clear the fuel before it will start.

I'd never heard of any car doing this - ever... so I was at a complete loss as to argue what could possibly be the cause. I'm baffled. But... a quick fix - if all other things are as they should be... was the check valve. IDK... beats me!
