well...i decided i'd keep my money for awhile til i acquire some more shortly before i decide what i want to do...i got the holley running alright again, but i've found that that carb is not suited for my car...it drains all the fuel out (maybe what eric was talking about), so it takes forever to get it started after awhile, it SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS gas, and it's pretty old...

on the brighter side, i rebuilt it awhile ago and it is way better than it was...one of my old friends did it and he messed it up somehow...it's a lot better than it was, but it isn't very reliable, i don't think

thanks for all the info :beer:
