I wholeheartedly recommend the carter or edelbrock over a holley.
Better low and midrange response, easier to tune, doesn't leak,
no power valve to blow, etc. I've had both edelbrock and holley on
my FE390 and the edelbrock wins hands down for reliability, driveability,
and tuneability...

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Re: 352 upgrade

Ismael, Kurt, and all FE pickup owners,
I just got a copy of the Doug Thorley catalog and this is what they list
for FE motors

drive part #
68-76 352-390 Pickups (fenderwell) 3/4 ton only 4 264
65-76 352-390 Pickups all (no F350) 2
203

There is a note at the bottom of the page: " Part numbers followed by a
'Y' indicates that the header is of our Tri-Y design. Part numbers
without a 'Y' are 4-into-1 design".
This bummed me out bigtime!! I guess this means that Stan's is the only
source for Tri-Y headers for FE equipped pickups.

Best bet for most truck applications is a set of Tri-Y headers (Stan's,
Thorley, ??)

I would have to say El Paso/New Mexico Border if you are talking Texas -
That would allow you to be in Arizona taking the Highway in about an
hour
