I have to begin by saying I hate the way Holley put these metering blocks together so that all the check balls are captive. The ball inside the end of the metering block for the economizer has fallen into the spring that holds it on it's pressed in seat. I would have no problem removing the seat to get at the ball and spring, but of course there isn't a new spring or seat in the kit.
As you can see in the picture the economiser ball has fallen into the spring. The ball is in there, but it's inside the spring instead of on it's seat.
The car would run this way, but it's going to suck down way more gas than it should at best. And it will foul plugs, dilute the oil and all the other bad things that come from an excessively rich cruise mixture at worst.
If I can't get this fixed I'll be in the market for a good metering block or maybe one of Dan's Economaster carbs if he has one left to fit this '67 Valiant.
