carb help, Holley dbl pump.

keith, that hole in the venturi hsg. is for holleys timed port vac. system, not in new hsg's such as the 950's. if this application is for a race car "plug" it with some jb weld or a small brass plug, you don't need it. wish i had seen the pic's before as i thought you were using stock metering blocks......good luck.....

I have a quick fuel metering block 34-4 on my carb.....Same darn thing has been happening.... I have had the carb apart 6 times trying to figure this out....It leaks out of the passenger side front transfer slot....Floods the motor and ruins the oil.....I was going to try my old metering block today....but maybe I can just plug the hole...

You can just flip the gasket? I have a few gaskets I'm looking at right now....If I flip one onto the other...three holes are different...I'm gonna go grab a metering block and look at it....I put my stock metering block back on and the leak stopped. Maybe it's in my head but the car doesn't feel as fast....I'm going to the track Saturday.

yeah, i flipped the gasket, it was a quick fuel gasket, had to poke a new hole for one alignment peg, all other holes stayed same except one at bottom, and i did plug that hole anyway....
if you just want to try it out, i put aluminum tape over that hole on the main body first. that is when the leak stopped.
