What you really need to do is learn a little bit about how carbs work.
Go buy a used copy of Urich and Fisher's
Holley Carburetors and Manifolds, HP Books.
I'm sure you can find it for less than $10 delivered.
While waiting for that, there's always Mr Tech 1966 carburetor fundementals in the Chrysler Master Tech series on-line
Dano and Val gave you good advice.
Buying another carb isn't going to do
you any good. You still won't understand them. Still will hate them. And still will be frustrated when something doesn't work right.
The picture of that carb in the link Dano posted showed bowls with sight plugs. If yours has sight plugs then that's what you have to check.
A carb, particularly a Holley, that has sat for 4 months, never mind a year, should be checked over if it had fuel in it.
I don't always listen to my own advice - just had leaking and overfilling secondary bowl on my cuda after sitting 6 months. LOL. Then I followed my advice.:rolleyes:
