I cant find my carb on the Holley site, nor on the sheet you just gave me.
There is something strange about it. I have seen threads in other forums
where people are asking what it is, but never seen an answer.

Look for the part number on the air horn, not the base.

So it turns out that I had a 600 cfm in the car already. For some reason to me they look a little different even next to each other. So I have a electric choke that is no use to me. Which sucks. But some good did come out of this. I found I have a problem with the linkage on the part of the old carb that sprays the into the carb. I forget the part name for it. What happen with my old carb it that it runs great for cruising but when you floor it boggs. So I saw on the Elderbrock video that I could adjust that linkage and that will take fix the bogg. The only problem is which way to adjust the part? Is it trial and tune trail and tune? Just thought someone may have had the same problem that could point me in the right direction.

See what I told ya on those 600 eddys. Everybody has a 750. LOL As for the adjustment, I dont know anything about them other than the mixture screws. Ok I just watched the video and I'm gonna say the lower hole will give you more shot. If your carb is old the acc. pump may just be bad and have to be replaced.

Ya I was thinking that too. I think you can adjust the accel pump arm. So I will check to see if I can do that 1st and then replace. But make total sense.

I took out the accel pump last night. It looked like it was bent to one side a little. So I think that was the problem. Everything else in the carb looks good. Gave a real good cleaning. So I will just order a new accel pump and try that. If anyone needs a good Electric Choke Edelbrock 600 CFM I got one for ya. Just give me what I paid for it. $200.00. Plus shipping if it needs to be shipped.
