I have the EDL-1404, 500 CFM, manual choke on my '68 292 L6 in the '68 Orange Stepside. [.030 Badger pistons, Crane 260H cam, 1.84'' intake valves, Offy intake, Cliffy headers, Pertronix Ignitor II.]
I have a Carter Performance Series AFB 9635 600 CFM on the 350 V8 in my '71 GMC Jimmy. It's basically equivalent to the EDL-1405 600 CFM manual choke. I use the Edelbrock book to tune it.
EDL-1403 is the 500 CFM elec choke, and EDL-1406 is the 600 CFM elec choke.
500 CFM is enough for a built 292 [+.030 =296 C.I.] in my opinion.

Your carb should be stamped on the front left with the model number.

Both pix are of same engine, top is a couple years ago and bottom is from 2002-05 build period.

Basic Black for the CHEVROLET on your valve cover, it would match the headers and pulleys. Of course Chevy Engine Orange letters would really stand out.
