What bolt pattern?

I have a holley 390 CFM carb with a pattern that is 5 5/8 by 5 1/8 and an intake with a 3 7/8 spacing.
Seems to me Ive got a Holley teapot intake and a spread bore carb! anyone know the spacing or if there is a adaptor available?

So, I have a spreadbore carb and an AFB intake?
3 7/8 spacing is square bore?

currious as to what spacing I have as Id like to get an adapter that maintains my "dual plane" intake.

a spread-bore carb will have 2 large butterfly plates, and 2 small ones.

a square-bore will have 4 equal size butterfly plates.
most aftermarket intakes will automatically have both large and small carb bolt patterns on them.
you are using a stock 4 barrel intake??
if so, an adapter plate will fix you up.
i would go to a speed shop though to make sure you get the rite one instead of buying off of ebay.

it has been quite a few years since i did the adapter plate thing, and don't remember the proper bolt pattern sizes
