I finally got 'er back together and she runs like a top. I ended up swapin' the Holley for my neighbors Carter. I had to modify a couple things with the linkage and the air cleaner to make it fit correctly, but it's all gooood now. Thanks guys for the help. It's time for a cruise!!!

You are one of the very few people who ever come back and tell us how it ended up............thank you for doing that. Most times we offer all these suggestions and never find out what cured the issue. This is how we all learn.

Your original carb is probably fine but just needs rebuilt/cleaned. A lot of us on here are fans of the Carter/Edelbrock designs for street use so you have a good one on there now. Holleys seem to have a particular dislike for even the smallest piece of trash, my Son Don spent many a date fixing the Holley on his Olds convertible and got good at knowing right where to look to remove the spec that was causing the problem.


Glad you found your problem.
