You will need model 600 cfm with manual choke. You will also need a adpter plate. I think it's the square bore to a round flange adpter or something like that. Just ask them they will know.

If you have an Advance auto store near you they will carry them.

just a tish NE of central ND

I changed my holley to an edelbrock also. I am very happy with it. Holley might be a good carb, maybe even a better carb for hotrodding , but not for ag applications like a old truck like mine. There are too many things in it that can dri out and diaphragms or such that get holes in them from backfiring and other intake / carburetor accidents .I think the edelbrock will be a lot lower maintained than the holley and it works GREAT! I have no more KABOOM@@@@@ after each time I shut it off after a road trip. Man I hated that, I would drive to the local grain elevator and idle it for a bit and shut the engine off and there was an expolosion at least one out of three trips. Very hard on mufflers too! Every one always turned to see who blew a tire.The Holley 4 barrels never worked right and it needed repairs so I threw it off and got something new and not worn out for a change.I got mine(carb) at a Champion auto store.I dont think it is a 600 cfm model though.I cant remember right now but I am thinking it is a 450?? That 600 talked about here earlier seems a little big for a truck with a 366. There is a formula for figuring that all out but I cant remember how it works. Maybe Jon Hagen or someone can help you with that.I seem to remember that if your carb is too big you dont have enough airflow or vacuum to operate it properly.

Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND		Use this chart in the link to read engine size in cubic inches X the max rpm you will turn the engine. The factory Holley on a 366 I believe was a 600cfm,but by the chart ,450-500 cfm is plenty for a good power band with good low end torque and fuel economy. I remember running tests on a buddys Holley 600 cfm equipped 366,it would usually hit the overspeed governor before the vacuum secondary barrels opened up,so it appeared to be a good bit oversize for a 366.

SC North Dakota		I installed a Edlebrock EDL 1407 on a 366. Came from Summit Racing. 1 800 230 3030. 750 cfm, nonemmission, manuel choke about $250.00. Makes a world of difference compared to the Holley. Good luck.
