which metering block will work

i have a holley 650 DP with a Proform Main body. My primary metering block has a striped out idle mixture screw. Could i use a metering block from a 750 DP? Or could i buy a kit from proform or quickfuel? thanks a lot!

I can see the reason for the confusion. But, the 750 DP metering block should work.

You could buy a new block from one of those sources if you like.

one of the advantages of the proform or quickfuel metering blocks is the changeable idle feed restrictions, another is the fact that they are billet pieces and won't warp. there are two versions available, one for racing and one for street.
disadvantages,,,, sixty one bucks!
i'll let you know what i think of the race version when the 383 is finally running (hopefully very soon!). they are very nice pieces and proform and quickfuel both have EXCELLENT customer service!
