Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?

That Holley should be easy to fix with a new kit, Holley has plenty of videos on their web site to help you thru it.
Also if you do not know much about carbs, I would suggest anything new, before buying another rebuilt one.
It may not even be the carb issue, how is the tune on the engine, are the valves adjusted correctly, what is your timing set out, do the basics first before throwing parts at it.

Hey thanks man - So I should have stated some of those factors first.

Engine is strong and has passed with flying colors its leak down test and compression tests. Valves were just adjusted about a month ago and they're proper. Timing was checked and was already perfect last weekend (I don't have the numbers here but i'll get them soon). Basics are actually done, but good on you for asking. I've had what feels like fuel delivery issues for a while AND what I also left out was that gas mileage is horrible, carbon build-up on the exhaust tips, pulled spark plugs and they're showing signs of too much fuel, and when i'm on the freeway after about 10 mins of driving at 50 MPG i start blowing grayish smoke (no oil consumption, no coolant consumption). I rebuild the Holley myself and that was a mistake so I had a very good shop here in San Diego rebuild it professionally. Still. Issues.
