Here are the facts.

Holley was put on out of box without any adjustments.
Engine starts without a problem, Cannot get it to idle. As idle adjustment screw is backed out, vacuum drops.
Vacuum reading around 15 steady at 1800 rpm, dies when put into gear.
Had degreeing done at professional shop and preload set according to standards.
All vacuum ports pluged for testing except to distributor and PVC.
