I hope I get the money out that I've put into the rebuild (if I ever sell) as it was a hell of a lot more expensive and hassle than putting in a Crate.
I think I'm leaning to just put an original intake and quadra jet carb, with stock breather to go the distance. I'm this far into it.
In the meantime, the holley, when not sticking, has been perfect. We sprayed some high potent cleaner in it today while revving to hopefully help free it up. It's just always ran rich and stinks badly of raw fuel in my garage. The choke is working fine.

I would check for leaks in the fuel system, hoses? when its not running shouldn't have a strong fuel smell, can you put a piece of cardboard down to see if anything shows up? or puddling at the base of the carb?manifold
