The floats are stuck down or the needle and seat are leaking. Or you have an electric fuel pump that is driving too much pressure for the carb to handle.

Sounds like the floats are stuck or way out of adjustment. If you bought it new ask the seller what to do cuz if you start messing with it they might not take it back. If you bought it used talk to the previous owner as he might now how to set it... if all else fails then talk to a mechanic or someone who has older muscle cars, the mechanic may not know much about carbs if he is fairly new but should be able to suggest someone who does.

Holley carburetors..BAH! HUMBUG! Been via this one thousand cases with human beings via the years. Ya do no longer only purchase a holley carb, take it out of the container, bolt it on any engine yer runnin and yaaaaaaaaaahoooooo have been off to the races. O.ok.? Holleys that come on autos from the production unit are one ingredient, yet container holleys off the shelf are an entire different international. those carbs are no longer one length suits all gadgets. while you're taking a 750 double pumper off the shelf that only occurs to run large on your "geared up"350 Chevy, do you extremely have faith it ought to have the flexibility to accomplish only as superbly jetted the comparable way in case you change it to a 455 Olds rocket? basically those gadgets are meant to be custom set-as much as run on the particular utility(engine) which you have. they're a gadget unto themselves and are in consistent desire of superb tuning and tweaking. if your situation quite is a flooding situation that's maximum possibly a glide/needle&seat difficulty. Get your self the wonderful kit and placed it in the hands of an invaluable mechanic/technician.
