Is a Holley 750 DP too much carb?

Gregor said

We looked at the carb today and my friend agreed that the 750 is too big for this motor. jets in it are 72 and 80. Pouring fuel in. I just ordered a new Holley 650 double pumper and gasket set. He's gonna help me set it up and dial it in. Also on your recommendation we are gonna change the timing. He's been racing for years and definitely know what he's doing. I'll let ya know how it shakes out. Later.

Nice Car! If your carb was "pouring" in the fuel, then you had an issue with your carb. Carbs do not "pour" fuel in, only the accel pumps give the initial hit, then the engine "draws it in". Your buddy that "definitely knows what he's doing because he's been racing for years" should have known this. If he is going to help you set up the 650, he should have set up the 750. I have a 770 on an almost stock 318. Oh, well, the 650 Holley will run it fine.
P.S. - I'd keep an eye on the buddy ;)
