427 Side Oiler Carburator

Good morning folks:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all and Happy Holidays for the upcoming feasts!!
I have a question regarding carburation for my 427 Side oiler, my car came with a Holley 770 CFM carb and I have been having issues with it. Rather than try to rebuild and go through frustrating trials and errors I decided to replace the carb with a new one of exactly the same specs; 770 CFM. I have been told after the fact that a Holley 650 CFM would be enough for I am not racing this engine. I have no idea what carb came from the factory with these engines, van anyone shed some light on the matter??
Your input is always appreciated
Regards
Lou
