How far off will HP500 carb be on a standard 502?

I don't think you'll have any issues with getting it to idle fine after playing with the idle air bleed screws. I ran an HP500 carb(rejetted) on warmed over 454mag with a stock intake and 1" spacer. It idled fine around 850rpms in nuetral/700rpms in gear.

The best way to do it is to get the model # off the air horn and look up the factory jet sizes Holley sent for the carb. That is a good start point. If you cant find the jet sizes shoot Holley a email and they will respond in a few days. Guessing at sizes to start is a crap shot. Plug reading is difficult with ethanol fuel to get it right. Look for a good soot on the outer ring of the plug

, I was hoping for a bit lower though, I had the 454 idling at
675 out/ 600 in ,, one of the ways I have kept drive alive.
Thats why I want to know what all my options are. I have been told the stock
502 efi cam should idle very low no problem so my only concern is carb wise (I hope)
