It has been a week since a member of the Horvaths family has posted on this... knowing them, I would guess the problem has been resolved by now.

Sorry for the radio silence. I'm fairly sure I have figured out the compounding issues with the car. Firstly, the Holley had some sort of blockage, so no fuel was going through the primaries. I put my 4130s on and it runs like an absolute dream. I'll have to make a video. The car has never run more quietly or efficiently in its life. When I put the carb on I attempted to reroute the fuel line a little. It still died, but this time it took close to 30 minutes of driving. The car gave what I believe to be classic signs of vapor lock (sudden extreme power bog leading to shutdown) but it will now start up again about five minutes later. I am going to reroute the fuel line completely this weekend and see if that helps.

Somehow I just knew things were in good hands...
