Sounds to me like you could have a couple of problems. I would think that you have checked for water in the fuel system, so I would suggest pulling the carb and having it rebuilt by someone who knows Holley carbs, and can preset the floats and the air and fuel mixtures for initial start up, and then set them again after it is started and warmed up. You should also check your ignition dwell and timing, and make sure you don't have any vac leaks.
