Hey all,
Have just had the 350 Holley rebuilt by a pro (or so they say!!), and prior to being rebuilt i had a slight fuel leak from the butterflies, but otherwise the car ran perfect! It drove beautifully and revved hard!

Has anyone ever had this problem? And if so, does anyone know a solution??
Thanks
Keith

i am not a fan of holley, but as was mentioned, they are very simple.
even yake the whole car to a different carby tuner, and get him to reset it (preferably on a diagnostic machine and dyno)
would cost bugger all (30 min work, so less than $50)
but wo
