I got this Holley carb from a swap meet, the secondaries will not move. I have been trying to get them to move for 2 weeks and they wont budge. I even took carb apart, soaking it with PB and nothing.

Have you tried tapping (lightly!!!) on the secondary linkage?
Sometimes a little shock can get things moving.
Do you have the primary blades open fully( I know, grade school question...just asking)?

have you tried removing the base plate with the butterflies and put it in the oven at 150° - 250° for a while to see if it will free up? Remember to use oven mitts to handle it after heating.
Wow, the oven stinks now, wife wont like that. I did get them to move a little bit now. I did some tapping with a nail set and hammer and it did move, I also was able to get a flat screw driver in there and pry them some but I am afraid I am going to hurt something. They are stuck open about a 1/8 inch, but still are not moving now.

Sometimes I give up and call it a parts carb
I guess that is what I will have to do, they still will not move.
