my head is still spinning as to what the question is here. you already have a holley but you have STARTING ISSUES. so the question now i assume is why the car won't start.. in which case there is the 3 basics: fuel, ignition and compression.
spray carb cleaner in the intake and try to start it, if it does then your ignition and compression should be ok. test ignition with a timing light while cranking the engine, and compression by searching the proper method of testing it. if the other 2 come out fine then your carb may be crapped up and need to be serviced, or pump took a dump from sitting, or gas in the tank rotten, etc, etc, etc.
if you just rebuilt the engine start with a compression test or pull start it. reusing marginal or severly worn components will result in difficult starts for quite some time.
