Holley is generally Ok, Thermoquads are no good (made of bakelight), quaddies are hard to get in good condition (most of the rebuilt ones I've see are far from it) and take longer to tune, also if fitting a side mount impco then you need to brace it or the centre stud gets pulled out over time jamming the secondary air valve. Holley make a good offroad carby too with dampened floats and modified vent tubes.

Also with a holley make sure you remove the choke butterfly and linkages and seal the hole.
If I cant drive it, drink it, build it or bang it I dont care about it!!

Why??

I just back the choke off if it is and electric one so you can keep the cold fast idle.

This may be an answer to the pain in my ass
The Holley I have fitted was already missing the choke assy, has a sprint gas mixer (i think). At idle it seems to have a vacuum leak, poor brake performance, lumpy idle (but does have a biiiig cam) Give it some revs in neutral and it won't idle down. Does this hole where the choke linkage goes cause this problem or am I off track? I would just go fire it up and block the hole but the starter is out right now...
