383 Wont Idle with new to me 800cfm DP. Idles and runs ok with Edelbrock/AFB

This is the carb number I took the picture the other day while I was going through it. The price of the carb, if I decide to keep it is $100.

If you're going to go with this carb, or any other Holley 4150 type, get yourself a cheap used copy of Urich and Fisher's Holley Carburetors and Manifolds. Some of it is marketing BS, but the fundementals of how the circuits work is invaluable. So is the explanation of transfer slots and drilling holes if need. Also their tips on road racing can be translated to street/general purpose tuning if you have your thinking cap on. The smaller Holley 4150 book by Urich covers the basics - so that's an alternative.

Trick kit is getting expensive but I like the fact they come with lots of gaskets large and small. Otherwise I buy the blue metering block and bowl gaskets as 10 packs. Buying in 2 packs and such will kill your wallet. A little WD40 or other similar kills the sticky and they work fine. Torque the bowl screws carefully. Earlier carbs have slot screws, later ones have hex heads. Harder to strip out the slotted ones.
