OR you can just try another Holley carb that you know is ok?

You can pull out the power valve and suck on the metal top. If it sticks to your tongue, the diaphragm isn't split.

Once you have confirmed that the power valve is good, I would recommend that you use a spray can of engine "starter fluid" sprayed into the carb.

I use much less than a full spray can. I use a about a 2-3 second burst.

In my cars that tend to sit for too long to retain fuel in the carbs (which is most of them) I've installed and electric fuel pump IN ADDITION to the mechanical pump.

Agree there. I have this on another car of mine, and it does make starting easier. It has to be "engineered" correctly, though.
