I had this happen to friends car one night. After deciding it had a creeping needle and seat, I drove it home for him, just struggled to run at low speed, where the engine was clearly rich from flooding.

I think given the proper machining ability I could just about make a functioning Holley from scratch, but an edelbrock is a complete mystery having never fooled with one...interesting comments though, didn't know a dual plane split the intake to one side or the other either. Learn something every day!
