BBC Torker manifold
Any of you guys out there have information or specifications for early type Edelbrock Torker manifold on oval port big block Chevy. Hood clearance issues (as usual with 427 C3) have dictated the use of late type Torker 2 manifold on my '68. Someone made a comment to me that the early Torker piece flowed better than the later type because of the 'twisted' carb pad location. Any thoughts/comments/experience/dyno sheets?

I used to have one of the original Torkers on my '69. I obviously had to go with the L-88 hood, but other than that, no issues.

Thanks for offer but I already have had a Torker 11 O on my '68 L36 for a few years and it goes under stock BB hood (just). I also have a new Edelbrock RPM Air Gap ready to go on but it is 1 1/2" or so too tall. I thought that if the early Torker maniflod one flowed better than the Torker 11 Oval I would attempt to source one and save the expense of a L88 or similar high rise hood.
