    Sounds like a float problem. Fuel level too high? Leaky float/sinking? Fuel pressure too high? should be no more than 3/4/pounds for a holley. I used a wcfb on my flathead- no problems. sparky

    Hey Tokyo! I don't know what cfm the wcfb is. The primaries are 1",and the secondaries are 15/16" very small. Probibly no more than 4oo cfm. I think it is off of a '55 buick. It has worked out real well on my flathead.Not "trad. like 2 2 bbls, but still a good conversation starter. I had to mount it backwards, to mate up with the ford linkage('50). I also converted a chevy delco/window dizzy, so I can have centrifical advance. Good luck. sparky
