Holly carb help

Hello all need a little direction on my 700 holley ive read every post i can find and its got my head spinning with all the information, as someone not very familiar with messing with carbs.
360-30 over if i remember right comp is 12 to 1, x heads, mopar single plane intake locked out timing at 36, purple shaft 508 cam, 700 holley dp, 1" spacer
904- 3500 turbo action converter , 3.91 gear
Car idles great in neutral about 1100, in gear will idle on the brake about 800 to 1000 about 13.5 to 14.0 ive got that part good finally without having to double foot it to keep it running in gear at a stop. Wide open is good between 12.5 to 13.2.
With the carb ive got the prim set square and am idling off the sec. things ive done to the carb is jet pri down to 69 and sec down to 80 and have 37 squirter front and rear blue cam on the front and the stock black one on the sec that the carb came with and a 10.5 pv in the front. Bleeds and restrictors are all pressed in so i havent messed with them
Problem im having is as soon as I'm into the gas off idle carb goes dead rich and stays there no matter what. light cruising thru town at low speeds, moderate throttle or even at speed doing 3100rpm @ 60 its between high 10s to low 12s. Ive had carb apart and clean everything on blown out all the orficies checked it all over still having this issue. I'm hoping someone can point me in some sort of direction with a little help.
Do i need to put some wire in the restrictors in the metering blocks to lean out the transfer slots, or possibly drill out the blades to get the blades more closed?


You need T slot restrictors and probably need to look at the power valve channel restrictors.

The wires you reference are for idle. If the idle mixture screws are working they throttle isn’t open too far. It may not be optimal but they aren’t open too far.

You need to get a vacuum gauge on it and check to see what your cruise vacuum is. You may need to open the power valve a bit later.


A 37 squirter seems awful big for what you have.
