The edelbrock 500 and the holley 390 are commonly used on the /6 |

Anything is possible... Both the 390 Holley and 500 Edel are good carbs for a street/strip motor or a daily driver. What do you mean by "top performance" and what will you use your truck for? Lou |

I think I would get the edelbrock instead. It just seems better built, no plastic parts and no gaskets below fuel level... Esp a plus since my holley 390 just started leaking between the screw heads and fuel bowls |

I run the Edelbrock 500 on my '83 Ram. The engine is a stock 225 with Clifford intake and headers and a MP electronic ignition. I have an auto trans and used Lokar throttle cable, kickdown cable and bracket kits. This setup runs great and has given me no problems. Ron |
