Holley guru's- need advice

Brian recommended a modified carb off a drag car or did he recommend you use a 4779? I'm pretty sure the recommendation was for a box stock carb as they work well.

I have a 4779 here that looks nothing like an OOTB carb, doesn't meter fuel like one either.

If the carb you have has been monkeyed with, there's no telling what you are going to end up with. Drilling the idle air bleeds leans that circuit.

If you got it cheap enough, buy a proform body and start fresh with the suggested tune up.
