Hmmm, I don't doubt that something could be really screwed-up with it. I have seen some crappy Holleys. They are easy to rebuild and fix unless the throttle body or main body are warped bad. Could be a clogged passage, worn throttle shaft bushings, a number of things really. They are a dime a dozen however, might not be worth messing with.
I hate Quadrajet carbs but when they are running good, it hard to beat them for mileage and performance. I just never seem to get them running really good and hate rebuilding them. Way too many pieces for me. Hope you have good luck with that Rochester, I know people who swear by them.

I can tell you what I did with the one and only Holley I ever bought. I gave it to a friend who put it on a truck he was selling. The buyer called him repeatedly with carb problems. The guy finally put a Carter on it and quit calling.
