Default What is stock intake on 1978 L82?

2 Questions: What is stock intake manifold on 1978 L82? I have a Edelbrock streetmaster on mine. Also what sort of vacuum should I expect for a stock L82 at about 800 rpm - not in gear. I've been doing some tuning of carb; idle mixture, that sort of thing and vacuum was down around 16 with all ports plugged. Engine runs real strong - just wondering if that is vacuum for stock L82 or if previous owner installed a bit of a cam.

Stock 78 L82 is an aluminium low rise manifold #458520. It was also used on the '79 L82s.

I can't speculate on what the vacuum would be.

16 inches of vacuum sounds about right to me for an L-82. I would not expect much more than that.
