Looks great. Does the Holley use an electric choke? I see the block off plate for the old style choke stove...

No choke on this carb, as everyone I've spoken to advises that it's not required on a squarebore.
Ran it today and the rear fuel bowl leaks where it meets the carb body.
Pulled the carb and it's going back to where I bought it - aargh! :x

Holley website is great!
Adjusted the float levels and she purrs like a kitten.
Going to fit a PCV system as I now have a PCV port on this carb.
Oil should last a little longer?

So it turns out that this 'spider' retainer is actually for a Roller Camshaft & my engine is sort of a Vortec configuration, but with the older Swirl Port heads.

I'm struggling to find any cam spec's, as all VP manuals for this model are showing a flat tappet cam.
Any Chevy gurus out there that may know whether this is the same cam as the newer Vortec setup?
Same cam as the Gen 1, roller 260hp 350 Chevy?
