Holley carb?

[Frankenstein]

So the 390 in my wifes truck decided that it hates AFBs. I did a compression test because it sounded like a dieing motor and the comp was about 118 all the way across the board with zero leak down. I feel way better

The problems started after I put in the points eliminator kit (works great!)and new plugs. The timing actually stays in one place at idle now, I have it locked at 12* dead on, the vac advance pot on the carb works but the damn thing wouldn't tune right with a new Eddy 500 and a rebuilt Carter 650 both ran like total crap and huffed blue smoke out the exhaust after the points went away. Just for shits and giggles I grabbed the Holley 390 that was sitting on top of the slant six in the 48 chevy. I put a quick change vac secondaries and electric choke on it awhile ago but never rebuilt it after getting the carb for 20 bucks at a swapmeet.

It works great (still huffs some blue smoke) it runs smooth and has the power back. So now I am convinced that I have one of "those Fords" that is picky and hates AFB carbs and will only like Holleys even tho I'm not the biggest fan. So I have this other Holley sitting on the shelf that came from who knows where and it is the only one I have with the Ford kickdown linkage but I need to know what cfm it is and what it came off of so I can get a kit for it.

Here are the numbers...

Air horn- List-4452-1 with 0898 below that.

Top main body on the pass side- 6R 3059 B

Top of metering block- 6557 with 44521 below that

The jets are 66 (look new) and it needs a power valve (missing)

How should I set this carb up for this motor? Stock rebuilt 390 with a Eddy streetmaster intake, C6, not sure what gears, wifes daily driver.

If I read my book right, you have a 600 CFM 4160 carb. Should be just fine for a stock 390.
The Holley Renew kit no. is 37-119, and the Holley Trick Kit no. is 37-912. The power valve no. is 125-85.
Hope this helps.

Thats what I needed, Thanks.

My 302 hates Edelbrock too, so don't feel bad. I gotta get the stuff to fix my 600 cfm Holley.

I got it rebuilt the other day, it runs great with lots of power. I am just not a fan of Holley carbs for daily drivers but at least it isn't a friggin Demon P.O.S. Those are by far the crappiest carbs on the planet next to Predators! Thanks for all the info guys!

I Looked up the carb in a different book, and it's application is listed as a '68-72 FE engine, emissions carburetor. So it's actually made for the application your are using it for.

Not only does your FE hate AFB "type" carbs so do I.
