bit of a carb problem, got 600holley with vac 2's (brand new) on mild 351 clevo, no choke (auto/manual) ... unless engine is getting up to operating temp forget about moving, touching the throttle seems to just flood and kill the eng.... but when its warmed up a bit (say after 5mins or so) look out (onto 2nd set engine mounts!)
get the jetting checked. My 750 was very dicey until I got it rejetted and now it purrs even when cold... but I still don't get too excited until it's warmed up a bit
I've never seen a Holley used in street applications that had a choke problem. Most problems I have seen have been from people not setting them up properly.
I have seen Holley's that have been extensively modified to remove the choke and air horn but a 351C running a 600cfm Holley should have no problems.
had same carb on previous eng with no choke, never had any probs. But sometimes when you tramp it it does miss, but not always. It runs c4 auto, if u hold it in 1st and dump it sweet, but sometimes when in drive is when it tends to stall out

are you sure its flooding, it sounds like to me the accelerator pump is not working.
i had had a few V8s in my time, and if the carby is working well,and the rest of the car is in tune, you shouldnt need a choke.
as the other guys have said, make sure the float level is right, and check for vacuum leaks as well, and your timing too.
