carb upgrade for a 66 starfire 425?? help?

the car doesn't have the right carb on it, its a qjet from a 350 chevy truck.
The choke is messed up and I'm tired of looking for parts.
Has anyone upgraded to an edelbrock with an electric choke? what model and how much did it cost you?
thanks .

Many choices on carbs and I would think most choke parts are pretty much available. The original 66 Sfire divorced choke unit may be reproduced but I know they are pricey. I had a 66 Delta daily driver that I installed a Holley spredbore double pumper 650cfm on with mechanical secondaries. In my book it was a troublefree well performing carb.
