Edit: Now that I look at all the pictures, it looks like QF carbs must use different bases. See in the picture I posted about from the Holley book that there is one slot machined in the base for the two barbs? They are both on the same manifold vacuum. But when I go back up and look at your pictures, it shows separate slots machined for the two ports. Very interesting. Hope I didn't cause any confusion here Scott. I would have assumed that Holley would use the same bases, but I guess not.
Not at all! Interesting topic. I would have assumed the same also but good eye/catch. That does explain it. Picked this one up second hand with only a few miles on it and before that had never heard of QF. Haven't needed to do much with it but the float adjustment did come in handy.

Thanks Jim for photos of those two carbs. More variations...
