OTR, Ethier would be a good carb to use, it's just that I have not heard good things about the Holley Remaned T-Q. IMO, I would go and ask David AKA Demonsizzler @ thermoquads.com if he has a carb for you in stock. I'd bet he does. He is very good at rebuilding them and easy to deal with. Just over the boarder from you in Ga. he can have it at your door quickly.
While I like the T-Q, theres nothing wrong with the AFB/AVS style carbs at all. I don't know what your issue with the prior carb was, but the CFM rating of 600 is excellent from stock to a nicely modded 318.
I myself like the AVS style better over the AFB. I like the T-Q over the AVS.
The T-Q has very small primaries. (800 cfm model has smaller ones than the bigger 850 cfm carb.)
No matter the carb maker or style, tune that bad boy to it's max!
