Yours should look like these, I'll let Karl or Dave make recommendations on adjust yours. It's been almost 50 years since I played with Holley's.

Larry it is a good idea to start a new thread because it keeps pertinent items under a new title. That helps you attract knowledge to your issues because guys that don't do clutches but are knowledgeable on cold/hot starts might read your post. Plus it helps others find solutions that have similar issues. But all that said there's no hard and fast rules here. I did read the posting guidelines. But that was years ago. The only thing I recall as prohibited was politics. I probably should read them again. I think they say the purpose of these pages is exchanging truck info.

Larry, the more info you can give, the better the response you'll get. I think I asked some good questions to start with.
