Simple test.....have him check the fuel pressure at the carb. That way you know in a minute if it is the fuel pump.
Leaking fuel out the carb is a major problem. No way should you have to keep the throttles wide open to re-start it. That is a carb problem.
Yes I am a Holley fan but the change over does require a few things to make it work. At a minimum you need to install a throttle control plate and possibly a converter to go from a square bore Holley carb to a spread bore manifold (if the carb is not a spread bore to begin with). Additionally you have to install a fuel rail to feed the Holley and tie it into the existing fuel line. If the Holley carb has a electric choke then that needs to be wired in as well. All in all it is worth the effort. Starts every time with no hassle or leaks.
