What intake manifold is on the engine? The Holley will not bolt to the stock intake without an adapter and you DO NOT want to use the adapter.
What is wrong with the carb you have? Is it the stock unit?

Have you set proper float levels? The AED kit comes with a new seat insert and once adjusted it is about impossible leak past it......
Is it on an aftermarket intake? Like I said.....if you have the carb adapted.....it will never run the way you want.
I cannot speak for the Brawler carb as I only use the classic Holley series.......no matter what you buy though it will have to have the floats set.
Pics always help.
