There is a seller on Ebay that will sell me a new quick fuel billet piece for $100- the cost of the cast Holley one. Are quick fuel base plates any good, or should I stick with genuine Holley parts?

It works fine, but I ended up reusing all the linkage hardware - everything didn't just bolt right on. Expect to do a little fiddling, but it fits and works great. remember when you said honey, some day that car is gonna look so good in front of our house

What do you mean everything didn't just bolt on? Were things misaligned? bolt holes to small? I'm looking for a bolt on base plate to replace my messed with Holley one.

Use the base plate you have, put a #4 bolt in the hole in the throttle plate, nut on the other side, bolt just long enough to leave a couple threads visible which you can peen down so the nut can't back off....

The guy who ran this carb, tapped and plugged it. I also need to divide the grooves that connect the primary and secondary idle circuits with some JB weld and file them flat. I'd almost rather buy a new base plate with tight throttle shafts that I don't have to do any work on. ya know? I'll likely try to run what I've got first though because I tend to learn the hard way...

The proform and qft are the same base plate just anodized different colors...either one will fit your 750 dp...I have to holley 750 with the proform base plates..

I have the secondary idle speed screw adapter, and the new secondary shaft wasn't long enough for it on the pass side. So I reused the original shaft and the linkage, and the throttle blades IIRC. Nice piece, no other issues. remember when you said honey, some day that car is gonna look so good in front of our house

I brought a QF base plate for my 780vs and one for my 950hp, both fitted and lined up perfectly, out of the two carbs the 780vs has inproved better with allstates parts and tech recommendations
