77cruiser:
With holes in the plates you're passing more air through the venturis & increasing chance for nozzle drip. Either way you are going to need to richen the idle circuit.

Frank400:
what Cruiser said.

    Holley guys can get away with drilling the plates because their boosters are not as sensitive as Q-jets.

I've now got her idling but I'm getting a surge.  Initial timing is at 17.

I have Cliff's book and I read why but I'm unclear of how to richen the idle circuit.  Could you explain it?

Please disregard.  I found the info in Ch. 6.  I must admit I'm nervous about this mod and messing up a decent carb.
