What is your point? The OP has a carb with adjustable floats. Rebuilt and properly adjusted (an exercise that can be done in less that a half hour), that design carb is hard to beat, as far as reliability and performance.
Any new 'trick of the week' carb is just another carb. We aren't prostocking here.

should have mentioned torque bowl screws to 51 in lbs using Sturtevant inlbs w/centering ball torque wrench X pattern, only when fuel stains on screws. all ways check on start up. no problems all most two years. car runs great around town and interstate runs.

Safety Car
Quick Fuel/Edelbrock are cast from aluminum. Electrode potential for pure aluminum is -1.662 volts. Holleys are cast from zinc. Electrode potential for pure zinc is -0.762 volts. Its much less susceptible to corrosion than plain old aluminum. Unless Quick Fuel/Edelbrock are using corrosion resistant alloy, the damn corn syrup they put in gasoline these days might corrode some of the idle and transition circuit passages in an aluminum carb before it would on a zinc carb. Quick Fuel is essentially a tweaked Holley 4150/4160. Figure that information in your decision.
