That is an oldie. I remember selling those when I was in the auto parts business back in the '70s. Don't know when Edelbrock replaced it....likely the '80s.

If you're interested in a singe-plane, and unless you can pick it up really inexpensively, or want a contemporary intake for your car, I would opt for a newer intake and take advantage of modern designs.

I bought one of those new in '78 for my 67. They were popular then and were the "pre" preformer intake. I spoke to Edelbrock once about them and how they compared to the performers,I was told the performer was the replacement and a better unit.
It ran well on my mild 350 with headers and Holley 600 carb.

Not interested in using/purchasing....just currious. It is listed as part of a 400 build that's F/S
Thanks for the info guys
