Thanks, Buck,

I still don't know whether the 465 CFM Holley is rated "wet" or '"dry".  
Maybe a "Google" might help?

Works smoothly on my F4B, but it ran like a pig at Big Bear.  Maybe it 
was that "cheap" Valera gas station that appears to be local. The mile 
high didn't help either.

I do have a colored LED array for A/F ratio measurement.  Reacts near 
instantaneously.
