WW, "wont run well without choke" is almost always a lean condition in the primary circuitry of the carb, or a vacuum leak. If it wont run or has no power without the choke, but will run fine when its revving, the idle primary circuit of the carburetor most probably has an issue. It is probably blockage in the idle/primary circuit. Though your carb is "fresh" anything can happen. A piece of dirt could have found its way to the carb or, the Holley may have to be adjusted or looked at.

The other possibility is a large vacuum leak. A culprit is often the gasket under the carburetor base. The carb nuts need to be tightened sufficiently. It can be tricky and you can break the carb throttle body. You need to tighten each nut a little at a time back and forth until you can feel the bolt come up against a solid feel when its right. The specification is 60 to 80 inch. lbs. of torque on that Holley. A vacuum leak can be tough to find.

Thanks bmorgil!
Even the Carb folks said "it could be dirt"....I'll check on that, but I've a feeling VACUUM is the culprit. Ran rough BEFORE the rebuild and bogged...thought the rebuild would heal it....not so much. Had the fuel pump done for good measure - but used the old vacuum lines to the carb, ( and windshield washer!). I need Vacuum Lines For Dummies at this point.... time for more Willys Education!
