I'm not disputing you about his carb just giving you an FYI on the 950 HP carbs. He didn't drill it they come that way new...at least mine did.That was back before they had removable air bleeds and all that...mid to late 1990's.
Good to know, still this is obviously not a brand new deal. It would be a little different if the intentions were to run in, I would still be a little upset with having to go through it. The appeal was to move the heads, and have a NIB carb that I could advertise in the $600 range and maybe haggle a little. Now I am stuck with a used car, and am going to be forced to take less than I intended. I will not advertise a used carb as brand new, simple as that my reputation means more to me than that. Like I said I should have requested pics, but I know what a brand new Holley 950HP looks like, just took one out of the box last week...oh well live and learn, and that is why I posted this so if anyone else deals with him they can get it crystal clear exactly what they are dealing with. He was a nice guy on the phone, he did ship it to me, it was all good except it wasn't what he said he had.
