Power Valve Selection?

Post by gyoungwolf »

Hi. I am rebuilding a spare 4100 for my '62 390 and am looking for advise on which power valve to use. I have 9 choices from 2.5 to 10.5" HG. The code that is on the carb is stamped 5 k 2, but I'm not sure what that means as the seemingly identical valve from a Holley has the activation pressure stamped on the side instead. If no advise, I would be happy to know what was stock.
Thanks,
Grant
