Assuming the air cleaner is clean and flowing, a gasket that is leaking into the venturi area, or a reamed out main jet are causes, as is a float that is sinking from fuel in it, or saturated material. Jim

A quick search says that is a 2300 series 2 barrel that uses kit #k4259. Here's a link: http://www.carburetor-parts.com/Holley-2300-Carburetor-Kit_p_726.html

Really guessing here but if one barrel it might belong to the 1904 family.
Read this if you have time. Ford used 1904 Carb on sixes,starting in 1952. Had a glass float bowl.
