    Sorry, I do not have the part number but I ran one on my 8BA mildly hopped up flathead and it worked very well. Simple setup to do.

    Here's the 390 Holley number 8007 , model 4160, I have on my 8BA.
    holley 390 #8007 - Search (bing.com)
    Don't confuse a Model 4150 with a Model 4160.
    Also, Holley 390 reproductions are being made in China. Be careful.

    To run a 390 on a flathead I had to install the carb. backwards so the linkage was on the pass. side.

    I believe the part number you are looking for is 3 x 97
