Default Air locking?

Hey ive got a 91 12valve and it keeps air locking. Every time i drive it after i shut it down i have to crack an injector to get it to start. And if i park on a hill with the nose up it wont start either. Any help would be appreciated and thanks for your time.

Double check your fuel line connections all the way back to the tank.
Tighten clamps and all unions.
Does this happen on a quick restart or only after sometime?
