Drain the oil before you try to start the car again. If there is enough gas in the oil pan it can make a heck of a explosion.

Been there, done that! It took out the oil pan, timing cover, internal parts of the Holley carb, both valve covers and several gaskets not the least to mention a fire. The A/C oil breather on the cover almost imprinted in my head as it preceded the valve cover by a few milliseconds. Not a pretty sight.

So that's why it says "CA" on your forehead...LOL

I thought it meant "Cumby Always"

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge! I just finished rebuilding my holley carb. Havent attempted that since a teenager, went well though. The only things that stuck out during the carb rebuild was the rear needle and seat ass. looked like it was stuck closed and most of the screws in the whole carb seemed a little loose to me. Fuel pump will be here tomorrow. going to install carb, fuel pump and change the oil and see what happens? I would love to hear any more advice some may have on this issue! Thanks again!
