I changed the gasket and exposed the "other" hole in the bottom of the carb and the squeal is gone.


I had 2 different gaskets each with notches in different places. There are 2 small holes int he mounting flange. THe new gasket seems to have remedied the squeal.

Now I am on to my timing and new hesitation issues

BTW Holley was little help. The only rebuild these they done't know about their application. Their suggestion was to return it for another one.

If it can be built ... It can be fixed.
