Default Which carb?

My dad is looking for a carb for his 1983 302. Its just going to be street driven, we're not looking to make a lot of horsepower or track the car. Just something with a decent price and reliable. Seems as though edlebrock have the best prices i'm just not sure which one we would need or how many cfm. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

The last carbed Mustangs used a 600 CFM holley, vac. secondary.
I'd just get one of those, install iit and forget it....
