See? More info helped.

Probably not jets if it's that rich. Look for blown power valve or choke stuck shut.

Not the choke. I can tell it's on when I start the car because it idles at about 1000 rpm or so, then goes down to about 700-800 later.

Is idle mix a possibility?

Sure. Lots of things are a possibility.

Also, don't look at just the carb. Distributor frozen/misadjusted will cause issues like this.

I'm farting. Why? Confused

See, you can't answer that question either. You need to provide a lot more info when you need help.

My dad bent a primary needle rebuilding one of his carbs a couple years ago...

Fuel economy was measured in gallons per mile.

Anytime I've seen a Holley's needles clog up it was accompanied by an external fuel leak from the throttle shafts. It is a possibility, though.

Again, more info is needed (bad fuel, run out of fuel, run without filter, monkeys in carb before issue started, ect.)

Holley Street Avenger. Electric choke.

Chevy 350. Rebuilt. Mild RV cam. GM performace intake. (I think)

If I remember right, Street Avengers have fuel filters built in.

Distributor is a MSD StreetFire.

Everything is brand new. Nothing should be broken/frozen.

So do Quadra's. Still gotta put a real filter in there somewhere. Probably not the issue though unless the car got run out of gas or something.

Never bet on it. Stuff comes DOA all the time.
