Thanks for all the knowledgeable replies.

1) Already checked the vent whistles...installed correctly

2) Already tried raising the primary bowl level in case it was main jet starvation, no improvement.

3) I already lowered the float level in the secondary bowl well below the sight window...no improvement.

4) I already used a vacuum gauge to set the idle mixture screws. I also tried it by "ear" and got the same settings. I'll double check that they are all set at the same position and a bit on the rich side.

I'm pretty sure it is a rich condition causing the stalling because restart is hard, I have to open the throttle heavily during restart. The missing idle bleed is on the secondary side. And since it is on the inside it is the main air bleed. I guess I should call Holley next.

Texasdoc, who is this Brent you mentioned?
