I put a Quickfuel billet throttle plate on a 950 HP. 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

Thanks for the input! 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....

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.
Aren't the proform and quick fuel plates already modified for the secondary idle speed adjustment?

I buy all my carb stuff from www.allcarbs.com I find them excellent to deal with and their tech support is also excellent. 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
