I have a 1961 390 with a dual quad intake. I'm putting a small cam in it and I'm looking to get a little more power out of it. I have no carbs for it currently and am wondering what a good setup would be. Edelbrock? Holley? what models and cfm? Thanks.

Assuming the manifold will accept them I would use the smallest cfm Edelbrock/Carter carbs you can get.  I believe 450 or 500 may be it. Check the info available on the I net. I would use an electric choke on the rear one. The tri power is more driveable in general, though.
