Well ol' 1343 failed the emissions test with very high HC and CO. Took it to a 
carb specialist and they said I need a new carb.  It's running too rich but 
they couldn't lean it out enough without the engine dying. The carb is 
apparently dumping fuel at partial throttle (they test at 15 & 25 mph).  Was 
told this is a common problem with Holley?

I know it's been discussed before but what carb should I put on?  It's got a 
Holley 500 cfm right now (don't know which model).  Should I stay with a Holley 
or go back to Ford?

The other issue is that the engine is from a '73 Montego so it doesn't have the 
smog pump but it has always passed emissions before. Because of that, should I 
go with a '73 or '75 carb?
