M1FF,
Holley's are very simple carbs to work on. If you can adjust an SU carb you can work on a Holley. The Holley on your daughters Mach 1 is probably ready for a rebuild. If so, use either a Holley, AED or QFT rebuild kit. They come with better gaskets than kits from auto parts stores. This is a good reference book to have for Holley carbs. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sad-sa216/overview/
I always suggest that book. It covers a lot for Holley carbs including the commonly overlooked critical throttle plate position when setting idle speeds on Holley's. You cannot simple turn the screw to set the idle speed. There is a small range of position the primary throttle plates need to be in at idle.
Best Regards,
Mike
