Might want to post in truck talk for more answers. what is a street master 390? sounds like a nice engine. with .571 lift cam you won"t have alot of vaccum

Thanks. I no longer have the carb. Tuned my Holley and advanced the cam to 106 deg lobe seperation and picked up to 12 vaccum. Street Master is an old single plain Edellbrock intake.
