I jhave one that will take two of those an edelbrock XF-8


ken
 
A pair of 390s would work well on the XF-8
but requires a little hood modification or one of those tear drop bubble hoods.

Oh that's nice - I wonder if it would fit under a stock hood lol..?
It would not fit under my stock hood but will fit under a teardrop bubble hood
I know the ebay price is out of site but i am not going to use it.
it is a early 65/64 casting as it has the thermostat pocked in the manifold. Needs a c4 flat thermostat housing.

i saw this one tonight
would that be a 12 pack
Vehicle Hood Light Motor vehicle Automotive tire
 
without have to read through 234 posts what year is your car?

what you have is adjustable
 
It was originally a 65 6 cyl car. Now a 302 5 spd.


The bell crank rod is nowhere near the wiring loom at max throttle pedal position. It is atleast 2 inches from it.


With the link is the lower hole I have about a little less than an inch of space between the bell crank arm and the engine/manifold.


My current linkage is 10.5 inches center to center.
While checking the above I noticed that the carpet under the throttle pedal/crank arm is very thick. I wonder if the thick carped/padding is preventing the crank from traveling to its full extension.
put a 2x4 or something similar between the pedal and the seat so that the pedal is on the floor.
then adjust the link to the carburetor so the carb is wide open
 
I have one from i think a 66 390 fairlane. Not sure if it was auto or manual
