Re: Holly woes.

Similar thing happened to me with an Edlebrock 650 when the engine was warm - shortly after start up - switched her off for 5 mins and then she would not start so i pumped the throttle a couple of times - like you i could hear the petrol running like a tap through the carb, lifted the filter off and could see the petrol pouring down the barrels - it stopped after about 10 seconds. Not happened since - put it down to a stuck float caused by a bit of dirt which was probably flushed through.
You may find it was a one off, best advise i can give is strip the carb and ensure it is clear of dirt. The Holley is a good carb so i would not be in a hurry to swop it out without considering a strip and clean.
Good luck
