Old Holley Parts...what happened??

Just got off the phone with Holley Tech Line. I told Shawn what had happened. He told me the manufacturer of the parts made them with too much zinc, and the results are what I experienced.
Anyway, he told me to pack it up and send it back to Holley for a free replacement.
At this time, I told Shawn that I am NOT the original purchaser of this carb, and that it came with the project car I bought 2 years ago. He told me it doesn't matter who bought it, we want it back. We don't want any of them out in circulation, so just send it back with my name & address, and a new one will be in the mail.
