Holley 2300 base gaskets

[Ralph P.]

I'm trying to cure an off-idle hesitation on a 67 setup . Among the things I've noticed is that I used the 500CFM gaskets instead of the smaller opening 350's. I'm assuming that's not correct & could cause a problem even not related to the above? If so, what are the anticipated issues around these gaskets? What composition is the best to use? THANKS !

Ralph, the first thing I would check for regarding the hesitation is to make sure that the accelerator pump squirters are not plugged. Regarding the gaskets, 2300 carb base gaskets are unique to the 2300.

Thanks ,Chris
I know the squirters could be an issue & understand it's suggested to try going up at least 3 sizes. ( I have a 24 size now & 28 & 35 to try.)
Lot's of inter-related things to deal with on these things!
