I personally like the glass bowl Holley 1 bbl carbs. don't know what your problem is, but if you are set on replacing it, Daytona Carburetor makes a replacement that is a new carb. , not a rebuilt one of what you have. it is supposed to be better that the one you have. I have no experience with them so I do not know much about it. Try this link and ck out their web site. https://daytonaparts.com/?gclid=CMT9...FUmRfgodDLAF9g

The Holley 1904 glass bowl carb can have a tendency to warp around the flange where the bowl mounts if people tighten the hold down clamp too tight. Then the gasket won't seal.
I have one of those on my '55 Ford Courier Sedan delivery wagon with a 223 I-block 6 and it had also been warped due to overtightening. I heated the flange very carefully with a propane torch and put it in a vice to straighten the bent surface and it worked like a charm. Do not overheat or you will melt the malleable Iron main body. |

BTW, I have also seen the new replacement type carb available at Daytona parts but it may require modifications to your gas pedal linkage. It is a universal replacement for many different years of 6-cyl engines.

Good advice from Daves55Sedan on de-warping the main body (die cast zinc), if that's the reason for the leak. Could just be a deteriorated bowl gasket too. Sal |
