    I cant believe the problem was something so simple  :faint:    The previous owner had connected the vac hose to the wrong

tube on the holley..............there was a rubber blank on the vacuum connection.  I just changed them round and the problem

is sorted !      Still put the vac gauge on though, and it reads a steady 15 at idle.   Best of all no more stalling      :bigsmile:   
just one more job to do..................  (O----{|||}----O)
