Find yourself a Rochester Quadra-jet. If you have to, buy a spacer/adapter.
Then as previously posted buy gas without ethanol.

I'll probably get scolded for saying that about Holley carbs, but in my experience, I've always had good luck with Rochester carbs.
If he's looking to replace something complex with something simple I'd think that a Q-jet would be essentially the same level of complexity to what he has.
I'm also a Q-jet fan but those are for performance, he just needs it to start and run. The Q-jet has many adjustments that really aren't necessary unless you want max performance.(depending on what year the Q-jet was produced)
