600 Holley on a 12a, where can I find an adapter plate? Any links would be appreciat!
Yes, the best and easiest way is to get a RacingBeat manifold. Many of RacingBeats's parts have been on backorder lately, but they have been so popular for so long, that they're usually available on epay or in the classifieds. I got mine in the classifieds a few years ago.
So if you already have a 600 Holley and you want to use it, then others have answered your question. You need the manifold from Racing Beat. It is still too much carb for a stock port 12A.
There are better options like a weber IDA or DCOE. Those carbs, out of the box offer more tuning options than the garden variety 600 Holley and can be sized to reduce/increase CFM potential. There are high end Holleys and Holley style carbs that have all of the tuning options of a Weber that also have interchangeable venturis like the Webers I mentioned. One of those in a smaller size or in a 2 barrel version might be a good choice. You would still need the Racing Beat manifold

You'd also need a RB modified carburetor, unless you are patient and methodical, understand what all of the carburetor circuits do, and have a pin vise and a broad selection of small diameter drill bits.
Or a carb like a Quick Fuel where the idle feed restrictors and air bleeds and emulsion wells all have replaceable jets, instead of just drilled holes like a Holley. Then you just need the patience, understanding of what all of the carburetor circuits do, and a couple hundred dollars in jets.
