Everything worked fine for a while, then I drove the car to Houston from San Diego. On the way I started to smell fuel in the cabin and eventually I pulled over to investigate.

Now, THAT was a learning experience for you -
Reminds me of back in the day when I wanted to put three single barreled carburetors on a stove bolt six. Yep, I couldn't afford a proper manifold so, I pulled one out of a junk yard and cut two additional holes in it. Welded on two flanges and mounted two more carburetors, that I pulled out of the junk yard.
Oh yes, after I fabricated a fuel block out of 1/4" galvanized pipes I was good to go - so I thought.
I got a couple of miles down the road when I smelled gasoline - lots of gasoline -
I popped the hood open and gas was flowing out of one of the end carburetors, soaking the engine compartment.
Apparently the float had stuck on that junk yard carburetor.
So much for THAT low budget power mod.
THE END
