Another vote for replacing the distributor with a vacuum advance model as the CCC distributor and 7 pin module is not giving full advance so you are not getting full performance out of the engine.

But also check the float level, needle valve and seat in the Holley as it only takes a spec of dirt to mess it up....been there before!
