Re: 8BA or 8CM and Holley 390 cfm vs other combinations
I have a 239 8BA with a Holley 4 bbl and it runs fine. Double check and make sure your Edelbrock intake has the generator mount in the center so the fan pulley lines up with the crank. The OFFY intake is 1 7/8 in. offset. Not good. I am running a Mallory UniLite mechanical advance distributor. Folks say that Chevy dist. is a great conversion so you might want to try that. You have to install the 390 carb backwards so the throttle linkage will work. Also using FENTON headers. Heads are early style with 1 inch spacer.
