I'm not sure what you mean by "the tab issue". I have an edelbrock dual intake I can't use. (it really interferes with the fenton headers that I am using.) I think maybe the Clifford headers would fit, but I don't know for sure. From what I have heard the Clifford 4 barrel intake with a 390 holley runs very well. There are several combinations, you could even get custom headers made, I really like the look of the edelbrock manifold if it only fit...
