That's normal.
The guys that do stunt driving with carb'd cars set their fuel levels really low and install extentions on the bowl vent tubes.

I agree its normal. The fuel is probably sloshing away from the jets. Not sure what to do to an Edelbrock, but on a Holley, you can get anti-slosh kits that are used for circle track cars. That would help along with jet extensions like 305sbc stated. But alas you have an Edelbrock so I don't know what would fix that.
