First test:
Look at plugs. Soothed, means too rich carb or ignition problem. Very clean means too lean carb

Second test: When hard to start, push accelerator to the floor and keep it there, if the engine starts easily after a few seconds, carb is too rich.

Could it be your power valve again? Old Holleys don't have power valve blow out protection. Just guessing, need feedback on the tests mentioned above
