I always thought they were an off-shoot carb designed by some ex Holley engineers. Maybe my info was wrong from the start. Last week, I was looking at new carbs and went to the Holley website only to find Quick Fuel listed as well. On the Holley website, one can enter the specs for your engine. For a 351 @5500rpm max with mild modifications, it listed carbs between 570 and 600 cfm. This does not take into account the 351C 4V's massive valves and ports. I was also looking at the Summit brand.
Reading the latest post from Spike and others and if cost is a consideration, the Summit brand would probably be top of the list. I forget which of the Australian members said he had the summit and was very happy with it.
Holley bought QF a few years ago along with MSD and a good portion of the hot rod parts industry. In turn, Holley is owned by Sentinel Capital. That is why everything is priced the same no matter where you buy it. In the old days we called that price fixing. Chuck
