Re: Four barrel
I think the Edelbrock 1404 is the best choice for the flathead as far as tuneability is concerned. You'll need the tuneup kit and an AF meter would help. Unfortunately they come with the #5 jet/rod setup which is very rich. The #11 is better but for our application the #8 has given the best mieage with out ruining the burn outs. But every application is different and the 390 is a good carb and in the right hands can be made to give good fuel mileabe. As they say "To each his own"
