True, but I'm sure they set the float bowls. It's a static adjustment but you can check it once mounted easily enough.

I find the Holley to be simple enough until it isn't. The jetting is a matter of testing or just driving. The accelerator pump is a static adjustment but you can tweak it. And the idle screws and speed could not be easier.

The power valve is something to reckon with if you are out in left field with your carb. If you have to change out the PV for some reason I think it's better to work with a pro using a dyno.

So really, these girls are performing a cosmetic service that a tuner with a dyno may not want to hassle with. Bring a nice clean carb with new gaskets and the tuner can get to work.
