I think the op gets what I'm saying.
I'm not trying to tell anybody how to tune a Holley.
And mine as well. I agree it needs more CFM. He agrees it needs more CFM. And both of us agree it doesn't matter what carburetor it comes from. Both of us also may agree or not agree but this one is starting to giving him too much trouble for what it's worth? I certainly don't know holley's like I do Edelbrock and I'm definitely not trying to give advice on how to tune it. Nor am I trying to act like I know all about them because I read a bunch of articles.. which I know you're not trying to do because you have a lot of experience with them. I guess I'm trying to point out that if you're going to give up on a carburetor this is the perfect one to do so that you haven't putting any money into and just a little of your time. Not put good money after bad and a ton more time and keep your fingers crossed...
And if yr wants to give a money back guarantee that if he follows everything he says that this car will run perfect for him then who's going to believe that? saying to stay out of this because I can't give any name-dropping magazine advice is ludacris.. I think I'm giving great advice get out while the gettin's good...
