Holley floods engine

Call FST and order a 750 with NO CHOKE. They are reasonably priced. You will need to fix the tune up, like every other Holley and Holley clone ever made.

Once you do that, you’ll have a great carb. An edelbrock isn’t the answer. Neither is what you have. Sell that.

yeah I'm not dicking with anything that doesn't have a choke. This is a street car in western PA. Spring and fall we have 40 degree mornings and 80 degree afternoons. A choke is a necessity. I gave up on the no choke silliness when I was a kid.
I just need to get this thing running a driving to assess if any of the drivetrain is worth the powder to blow it to hell. Like I said it came in a bunch of boxes. Once it is a functioning vehicle I'll start improving it.
