Default Carb Replacement

I'm thinking of replacing my stock Holley carburator 3884505 list 3367 with another name brand carb that would bolt right on without any modifications for a 66 327/350hp l79. HAS anyone changed over to a different carb from a Holley 3884505 with good results? Appreciate your feed back.

Its hard to beat a Quick Fuel for a straight-across swap. They are basically Holleys at their core but with more thought in the design, adjustability and user-friendliness.
I ****-canned my cantankerous 4150 Holley for a Q/F with vacuum secondaries and made a couple of quick tweaks and the car runs the best it has in the 18 months I've owned it.

The Q/F price is hard to beat as well. Worth a phone call to talk to their 'techies'; then decide.

Why? What's wrong with the 3367?

Well, be sure to wrap that Holley up REAL GOOD, and cut a little window in the box, so for the rest of its life, it can see out of its permanent "home" at "The NEW sheriff in town - Quick Fuel!"
