I have a 1977 Chevy Nova with a 383 motor and an 850 Holley Carb on it. We know what the problem is, we think. The carb is getting to much gas and is flooding, we are going to try and install a fuel pressure regulator but I cannot for the life of me find any video, or anything on hot to install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you might also check your needle and seat for having junk in it that is normally the reason for gas pumping into carb when it's not supposed to.
