I'm running a 650 vac holley on my *ahem* 454 for the time being. When ever I get spirited with the go pedal, the carb floods out majorly (Fuel seeping out of the throttle shafts.). Any clues?Float level?
fuel pump/pressure? (We re-used the factory pump when We installed it. The car it came out of had a return line to the tank, my truck didn't, and I'm not sure how my uncle routed the return line.) Any help would be great!. (now I must make a sacrifice at the alter of the Blue Oval...  ).

EIther the float level is high or the needles and seats are wrong/weak.
Did you replace them?------------------

The carb was rebuilt two years ago.

How about this. I plan on getting a new carb in the next week or so. The local shop (where I get my Chevy parts , Sallee Chevrolet.) recommended the Street Avenger 770cfm (he has it for $289. Thats his "Sale" price (my Dad grew up with the Owner..). What would you recommend?. ------------------

Wow. The 770 Is quite an Improvement. Only thing bugging me now is the Fuel pressure, It fluctuates between 7-10psi at idle (5-7 is recommended.). At fast Idle, the needle bounces from peg to peg.
