rebuilding a spare holley

I am putting my 350 together, and I have decided the 75o holley dp'r may be too much. I went and bought a rebuildable core off ebay for 20 bucks.....3310-2 750 dual feed single pump. This carb seems to have been dipped in something that did a great job cleaning, but left the powder oxidation all over it. Upon taking it apart, all the gaskets power valve, "o" rings are all gone. They were either eaten up by whatever this knothead dipped it in, or the carb was taken apart, and the parts dipped seperatly. I bought a renew kit, but I have to say that there seems to be as many parts in that it as would come in a transmission. The rebuild instructions consist of this statement..." assemble in reverse order". Now that would be all fine and good if the damn thing wasnt taken apart already. The exploded view of the carb isnt much use either. It shows parts, but no order of assembly.

Is there anyone out there who perhaps knows of a website, or another source of info for putting this thing back together properly so it will work?

Thanks for any help.

Re: rebuilding a spare holley

are the floats still attached to the bowls? the exploded view of the carb will have to work unless you send the carb to be rebuilt. check holleys website, maybe you can zoom in on the picture.

Re: rebuilding a spare holley

The floats are still there, metering plate. Im just not sure where all these "o" rings go. I think I have it back together the way its supposed to be despite a ton of parts not being used. It looks like most of wasnt used were the washers for shafts, a couple of "o" rings that seem to have no place to go. The kits did say there could be extra parts, but that has always made me nervous. It basically seems as though all I really replaced were the bowl level valves, power valve, gaskets, needles. I took some wire pipe cleaners to anything that had a passage as well, and flat stoned all the surfaces.

The numbers of the parts are the order of disassembly. Reassembly is done by starting with the higher number parts.
