anyone can clean a carb but finding out if it has the right emulsion tubes/ air bleeds or worse the right metering blocks.
I have 650 cfm dbl pumper you can use for troubleshooting david if ya need it.

It should work Dawg. It had a full restoration by Vintage Musclecar Parts and I bought it off the guy who had it restored. I don't know if he had any problems or changed anything on it to mess it up.

Pics of the restored carb before I bought it:

Yep. It looks like you got it exactly right about a week ago.

sounds like your only running off the intermediate jets. and the idle orifices are plugged. or maybe just one of them. the will only be on the primary side and they are not jetted. i bet a small piece of shit is stuck in there preventing the flow to the venturi?? just a thought. ive fucked around with holleys back in my younger days. and wen they wouldnt idle thats what it was. just a small piece of crap in the hole.

There were sections of the car that had been repainted previously. It looked like the sections that had not been repainted had spider-web cracks all over the place. The problem is that once I start picking away at stuff it ends up being a full frame off restoration. I have a hard time just leaving things alone.
