Mine came with some junk store brand “Autoline” q jet carb and I’d like to replace it with a Holley or Edelbrock, no more qjets please!
Would any of those fit in a 66 Toronado without sticking up too high and bumping into the hood?

You will have hood issues because those carbs need an adapter to fit low Qjet manifold used on the Toronado.

It will be less expensive, less hassle, and better performing to get a correctly rebuilt Qjet. If you can't do it, find someone who has a clue about how to properly rebuild and adjust a Qjet. Most over-the-counter rebuilt Qjets are one-size-fits-none Frankencarbs and are poorly assembled. Find a correct original.

If you get a quadrajet from Ken at https://www.everyday-performance.com/ you will be happy with it. I have got a couple and some other people I know have also been completely satisfied with his carbs and service. Get in touch, he will build you one, or he will fix/rebuild yours if it is good enough to build.
I repeat, you will be happy, and he is a super nice guy.

You're asking for fitment and performance problems with Holley or Edelbrock on a Toronado.

Toro uses that "negative-rise" intake for hood clearance and those aftermarket carbs won't fit in there well. Add in choke and throttle linkage configuration and it's a buttload of aggravation.

What is the QuadraJet doing that is so bad? If it's a generic rebuild that's most of your problem. No telling what's inside it after 50+ years. But a QuadraJet is a fine carburetor that's often maligned by people who don't understand it.

IF your current carb is a correct Toro carb, recommend sending it to either Greg Kalkhoff www.sparkyscarbs.com or Don Monroe for a proper refurb and adjustment. For a 1966 dated carb it also needs the updated needle and seat if that hasn't been done already.

What did you ever figure out on this?

I’m going to live with it for now, too many other things to do on the car at the present time
