Holley instructions contradicting on fuel bowl level ??

The difference I believe is the application for a "plug" and a "glass". Which was you carb designed with and what are the directions for it.?
A weak float, faulty needle and seat, high fuel pressure are a few items that may cause your flooding issue.
It is exact same carb as the first holley carb picture with the clear windows. The needle was already flush when I went to try and adjust and I thought that was odd. But the car ran nice and smooth at idle, but I noticed when I hard accelerated it did a little stutter so I thought i needed to bring to fuel levels up a tiny bit because of the levels being just at the bottom of the sight glass, where the picture above says it needs to be at the middle.
