Maybe that did come across kinda strong, but I just mean if you are spending a bunch of time troubleshooting a carb that is way wrong for the motor, cut your losses and get the right carb then see what you have.

Well fellas I found out that the float had a small crack in it and was full of gas. So replaced the float and also changed the oil cause the oil smelled like gas as well. The car runs great and I believe i will be taking Urban's advice and get that 650 instead. Will be looking to sell the 750 3310-3 Holley. Thanks for your help.
