edelbrock 650 or 750, you can't go wrong with it.

for a stock 350 I'd run a 600 edelbrock, if you've got a good cam, and are planning on running high RPM's then I'd look at the 750

I am running a performer cam (which is not huge, but quite a bit bigger than stock) in my 69 camaro with a 600 edelbrock. Just take you max rpm, what ever you shift at and put it into this formula.
Engine size(350, 355, etc.) X max rpm / 3456 = cfm requirements

For example:

355(my engine) X 5500 (My max rpm) / 3456 = 564.95 cfm

A 500 cfm probably would have worked but I always round up to the next size carb available.

Hope this helps,
