okay i got it to run smoothly now. everything works great starts up with out any troubles and runs and drives good. except when i come to a complete stop i have to feather the gas to get going. if i stop on the gas the engine feels like it wants to stall and probably will if i let it. would this be because the floats arent set right or what? i really am new to carbs so is there a way i can adjust it so it will pick up right away. once again its a holley 4160

Re: next on agenda

I'm going to assume you've read the "Holley Tuning" sticky, and followed the instructions all the way through, in detail, to your car...

What kind of jet changes did it lead you to make? What power valves are in it after the full procedure? Any trouble getting the transition slots perfect?
