1. Holley 600 CFM floods like mad on ONE SIDE of the primaries only.
?
2. Holley 600 CFM baseplate on a Holley 750, how should I jet it?
it runs good now, but I'm curious... it is probably a little rich... it runs a little too well...
3. if I can't get my 4100 working, how interchangeable are the Holley parts?
I have a 600 vac sec, side hung, and a 750 vac sec center hung. Can I change bowls and such?

1. A plugged air bleed will cause a siphoning effect like you describe.

2. Is this the same carb? What do your plugs say?

3. Yes, the bowl will swap right over.

I'll check the air bleed.
haven't checked the plugs yet, I only have about 100miles on it since I put the 750ish 600 on there.
the one that was flooding was my 600, I took the 600 baseplate and put it on a 750 so I wouldn't have to fight with the linkages and such.
any many thanks, I will probably redo the 600 with the other 750's parts.
I borrowed one 750 from my cousin to get on the road again, I got one for free from a parts house, just needs some TLC...
