Carb - Depends on manifold configuration, but going with a Spreadbore
(and going with no more than 5800rpm and about 400HP): 750
Vac-Secondary.

A well built Quadra-Jet or Holley (or Holley Clone now-a-days) will work
just fine.

You may also want to check out Davis Unified on the distributor.
They've been building Mopar (and GM/Ford) custom distributors for over
13 years.

What year is your truck? (Body controller may come into play on this
which may cause issues with not running a PCM for fuel control)

Subject: DML: sick of computer, Carb conversion questions

Hey all,

    I am completely sick of trying to dial in the factory FI system to
work
with my 390 stroker. Does anyone know what all I'd need to swap in a
carb. I'm
assuming I'll need a distributer (Hughes has a nice one that they can
put a
custom advance curve on), A dual plane manifold, carb, and fuel pressure

regulator (and some fuel line). Is there anything else? Also, any
recommendations on
carb brand/size for a 390 cid with 9.55:1 comp and hughes 2228 cam?
