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

It's Superbowl Sunday, Jon. It's the day God wants you to eat garbage food and fart.  |

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. |
