Do you know the list number of an original L88 carb? The Holley website and catalogs usually have a section where for each list number carb specifications would be detailed.

But he wouldn't know what I just said and he's building your carb?

You have to have the list number on the carb to get those specs.

How can a carb builder not have the setup specs...?? As a carb builder, the first thing you do is build a carb spec reference library - you can't build any carb without data and specs, and any good builder has all the specs...

Well you know...artists..

Actually he's pretty top drawer, and is just doing it as a favor. He builds these Hemi drag boat things and a bunch O other stuff.

Downloaded the lists and he had it back in a couple hours... Works cery good now!
