Quick Fuel Technology  They are on the web and sold through Summit and Jegs.  I will share more information once I get the new carb installed, hopefully this week?

I too have though about replacing my old original Holley with a Quick Fuel.

Rep69. I just finished watching a 13 minute video on you tube regarding the Quick Fuel carb.I was impressed with the carb being constructed with aluminum,however it is no different than the Holley with the exception it is much prettier and use the same internal gaskets power valves etc....It is a Circle track and drag strip carb as is the Holley carb,and as I have always said,if I am on a drag strip or racing I would definitely have a Holley as a normal aspirated engine carb,however if I was to drive the same car home I would change to a Q-Jet or Edelbrock that I rebuilt...Sorry to say the original statement by Edelbrock of "take it out of the box and it is ready to run" has lost a lot in the translation,as I have had to take apart several Edelbrocks straight from the factory to at least check the floats..Given this I still maintain that the Edelbrock is suoerior to the Holley and this new Quick Fuel is a Siamese twin to the Holley.Good luck in your quest for a good to great carb.Below is the you tube video I watched extolling the quality of the carb..  Sal C

The carb in that video is for racing.  Quick Fuel make carbs for street cars with electric chokes and vacuum secondaries.  I look at them as a modernized, i.e., better Holley.

The new carb that was bought from quick fuel  is one with an electric choke and vacuum secondaries. Black Diamond series. I am excited to see how it performs on my car.

I got the car back from the shop and it runs better now than it ever has since I have owned it. The new carb is great. They had to replace the spark plugs, plug wires and distrubutor cap.  I am happy to get the car the back on the road and enjoy driving it again.
