What is the CFM rating of the stock 4 barrel on 61 Bird

[raptor1962]

I have a 61 Bird and the carb is ruined, I am going to replace it with an Edelbrock, but I don't know what size to use. I don't want to starve the engine or over fuel it.

The stock Autolites carburetors with the 1.12 inch venturis were 600 cfm for the 1958 to 1966 Thunderbirds with the FE engines 352-390.

If you can rebuild or get a new 4100, I would recommend it as it is reliable, good performing carburetor.
