Reading up on that, I wouldn't be surprised if my intake manifold (original cast iron) could be plugged up with rust.

Are the hot gasses just supposed to pass close to the carburetor to heat things up or do the gasses actually get into the carburetor? I think I doubt it but I'm curious.
Your intake Could/Can be plugged up.

That Holley carb probably does not match the ports for the Exhaust crossover on that intake.



Check the gasket match to (Both) intake and Holley Carb.

If they have any gap you may have a Vacuum leak causing your issue?

The exhaust crossover ports can indirectly affect the temperature around the carburetor base.
