Well, I'm a handfull of dollars away from having an order large enough to get a $10 gift-card on Autozone, so I figured I'd round up some other parts while I was there, and one of the things I looked for was a re-build kit for the carb on my '66. It only shows one rebuild kit, but it says Holley on it... So, I'm questioning it somewhat... It looks like Q-jet parts to me, but I'd like someone a bit more knowledgable to chime in..

- Years Owned: Owned a '69 back in about '77, this cat was a legend in the Nebraska panhandle, it was very fast even for it's size. It would absoloutly fog the front tires from a standing start; I don't mean spin them, I mean just boil 'em from a standing start for at least 100' (measured)! I know what you're thinking, they weren't old rag tires they were modern Yokohoma radials. I'm sure this car would have ran 150mph too because many times I had the cruise set on 135 with 1/2 the gas pedal left. BTW this was in the middle of nowhere Wyoming.
I'm finally about to start work on my '66 that I've owned for 10 years. I plan to make sure my '66 425 runs just as strong as my '69 455 did. I hope to be doing some write-ups for the Driver as I go through the '66. I'll be updating it with disc brakes, electric fans (gasp), good stereo system, battery in the trunk etc., etc. as time and money allows.
I also may be building some new wheels with the correct offset, etc. - Location: Hastings, Nebraska

The parts shown in that link are Q Jet parts probably made by Holley. BUT you're getting very generic just ordering a Q Jet kit by year and motor.
Look for a round orange tinted tag on the left side of your carb (if it's original), a great many '66 Toro Q Jets were replaced due to problems (like fire) with the goofy toilet flapper needle and seat set-up; you'll be replacing this if yours still has it. They are history.
Anyway you need to order a carb kit by the # on the carb .
