Terry, you cannot lower the fuel level in a Holley as you have done without negative affects. The fuel levels should be at the very bottom of the threads of the brass sight plugs on the fuel bowls. If they are much below this the engine vacuum cannot "Pull" fuel (it is having to raise it additionally the amout you lowered the level). Do all the tricks including jet extentions and vent "whistles". You are currently "Way too low!" You have the level so low currently that the jets are being uncovered (fuel sloshing to side of fuel bowl).
