ONE MORE VERY IMPORTANT POINT, SRR AND OTHER HOLLEY PEOPLE.
NEVER NEVER NEVER RUN THE CARB ON A ENGINE WITH THE TWO PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS IN THE CENTER OF THE CARB.
Ok to have the 3 phillips head screws closest to the metering blocks installed on both sides BUT the phillips screws between the front barrels and the rear barrel(s) should never be installed. The base gasket between the main body and the throttle baseplate will seal fine without them. I have seen several cases where one screw came out and went into the engine. New Holleys (since the late 70s) do NOT have those screws installed.
