Buying an unrestored old Holley will put you solidly into a long, miserable rebuild project, full of throttle shafts that wore the carb body egg-shaped and leak vacuum, shrivelled gaskets that leak fuel & air, bad acceleration pumps and blown power valves. Sure, they're all fixable but nice weather is for driving, not thrashing in the garage. Years ago, I took off an average running 600 Holley & set it on a shelf. 5 yrs later, I put it on another Pantera to debug a problem. Started the car and the old Holley immediately burst into flames.... Good luck.
