Reply to "Heat Soak and Flooding"

I would do the simple thing, pull the needle out, clean it, and your problems may be gone. I don't think heat has anything to do with it based on what you describe.

I'm lazy so I would never work on the carb while it was still on the engine in a Pantera, I'd take it out. Regardless:
-Hold adjusting nut with 5/8" and remove screw
-Note how high the needle is compared to the flat surface of the nut
-Use nut to unscrew needle
-Inspect and clean, replace if pitted or somethng
-Install with gaskets to same height with nut
-Install screw
-Adjust float level as usual
If it was just dirt, consider fuel filter...

Good luck

BTW, if you end up hating the Holley, I recommend a Summit carb. I've had problems with all Holleys I've owned, no problems with the two Summit carbs I've owned.
