Looking for a Holley 4160 390 cfm carb., vacuum secondaries, electric choke.
Also, looking for a hydroboost setup, pedal assembly to steering pump would be best. Going in a flat-fender.
Let me know, thanks!

You looking for the orange Jeep?
If so stay away from the big carb and put a stockish 2jet. Won't be the big power but will run well and give decent power.
Actually that engine should have that carb on it.
I'm also going to guess a carb off a 360 will flow way to much for a 3.8.
If none of this applies, ignore.

I have a 2bbl Holley on it now, and if I was going to stay small I would just go with a Motorcraft carb.

Remember that engine has stock compression for a 1978 at about 7.5 or something close to that. It also has the low port (early) heads and don't flow like the later models do.
I over cammed, manifold, and carb'ed (465cfm holley) it which made it not happy and very temperamental, stock was much better.
IIRC correctly, it has a performer cam or something close to that spec in it now.

Didn't the tall port heads come out in 79?
