Hey RacerX;

It starts right up. When it gets to normal temp i.e. choke opens up, that's when the engine quits.

One thing I have not tried yet is to unblock the fuel return line. Accordingly to RacingBeats Holley setup instructions, that line is to be blocked off???

Any other ideas.

I'm on the road till Sat. So the Looks to cool and a lotta f-in $$$ into it will have to wait till then.

Have a Good One.

Steve

P.S. How many of these cars are you working on now???

Just this one car for this summer then I might start another one in the fall.Your chokes should close at operating temp and only be open for the warm up period.

Hey, give us an update please. I have a Holley set-up also and had a hard time at first. I found that I had a vacuum leak around the intake to engine gasket, I installed a double gasket and blocked off all other vacuum ports ,it sounds good now. Update soon , I have just about the same set-up.
