Bowhay the throttle blades have numbers on them ...and unless you have a spread bore carb the front and rear will be the same. Hard to troubleshoot from the internet but you cvould have the wrong gaskets or something causing an internal leak or something...I know Holley rebuild kits will often have several different sets of gaskets and you must match them up with the old ones .....I would put it all back exactly like it was and see if the trouble goes away...then start from there.

I just noticed you said you put 77 jets in it.. the jet size would have been 72 when that carb came from the factory.

ok so i think ive found the problem.....
i put about 6 different powervalves in it....no change, smaller jets...no change, so i pull the plugs, they only have like 100 miles on them and they are all black as heck, a few have wet oil on them, there is a significant miss in the motor now so i think i have blown valve seals
because the oil in my pan is still golden brown and not burnt at all, so i doubt it would be the rings
what do u guys think?
any suggestions are greatly appreciated, i know ive been hard to deal with on here before and im sorry but i really need help

Well how old is the motor? Is it a new one? Is it old with a lot of miles on it? I am pretty sure that worn out rings wont cause the oil to be burnt. I could be wrong tho too. I would say do a compression test in all the cylinders to see if they are all good or not on that. It is somewhere to start and we can go from there.

and due to the fact that i have a lopey cam could tht make it to where i need a different valve?
