Re: Feeling in over my head and not sure what to do next

First I'd get rid of the fuel hoses and make some tubing fuel lines. Less risk of a fire when the rubber hoses start leaking.

Then I'd call Holley or edlebrock and talk to their tech line to find out which carburator would be best for the engine specs. Then buy it new and install it.

I'd then change the plugs, wires and check distributor and verify/adjust the timing to make sure it's all good.

That might solve some of your issues.
