You should have 2 clear sight plugs that go there.Are you running a rubber gas line from from the feed line to the filter and then to the pump.I am running the 870 on a 440 with no issues.

I had a similar issue with my Holley -
The best I came up with was I flipped the dual inlet so that the main fuel "in" came from the firewall side instead of the distributor side.

Nothing on the other side of my 770 Avenger

You could get a "Y" fuel ling instead if the chrome dual line gives you fits.

none of the fuel lines work on a big block mopar , I usually make mine using steel line & a tee& forming a line around the dist , the opposite side of the fuel bowl is not threaded or open for fuel but yo0u can bring fuel in from the rear as BB73 suggested

I ususally slide the coil out of the bracket a bit, and if needed, move it to the inboard hole by itself. The "holes" in the Holley bowls are not drilled thru on most carbs. So you dont need to plug or cap them.

Tom... Your's is an 870 I think...
