Sometimes people should only stick to sitting in there own drivers seat , and not attempt to sit in others.

Re: Important if you run D-H/S or SA
 

Had to stop spectating and become a member. I happen to have this combination that the intake was approved for. I actually wrote NHRA the day I found out and I wasn't pleased either. I got my start 40 years in stock with a TRW Ritter and Weber engine.How things have changed. But honestly I never had to re-look at my engine spec sheets much til the last few years. I don't even know why this came about.
For the facts if anyone cares. It has to have the chrysler part number on it 3549884. Edelbrock made others I believe but took the number off after chrysler stopped selling them over the counter. So unless NHRA is going to allow the Thermoquad (1971 and up) a spacer the intake isn't going to work.
Take care,

I am trying to find documents on that manifold. There is a technical service bulletin that NHRA has the number and date for, but not the bulletin itself. That seems to be the key to this manifold. I think it has a Mopar number. In that era, the part number was usually one off of the casting number, usually the last digit in the number. It is not in the parts book in 1970, but the tsb was issued in 73 or 74 and would not be in the book anywhere. More as it developes.

Jeff, it's listed in Galen Glovier's book as an "aftermarket" manifold.
Chrysler PN #3549884.

Galon doesn't have everything. He was down here earlier to learn about Drag Paks. I doubt if he has all the TSB's issued because they were numerous. 40 something years ago is a while. I can get the TSB number if anyone is interested.

Thank would be cool Jeff sure. At least G and H are safe now. No AVS 340 can get there. If I'm correct the cars out there running this combo. Well I know I would need my toes to count them all so who needed this was my question to NHRA. They told me they had been working on it for 6 months. No Dyno I just stuck one one. I'll take it out in two weeks here. My idle didn't change a bit. So far so good.

Re: Important if you run D-H/S or SA
 

I've been thinking here..
The 67-72 Pontiac cast iron 4 bbl. intake is getting kinda hard to find. I haven't seen one in at least 6 weeks. The E -Performer isn't any faster, but a lot easier to handle in teardown,..for us older gents.
Also there are no E-heads approved for 400's.
C'mon now...Fair is fair.
Those ol' Pontiacs don't run all that fast anyway..They need some help.
Now, who's butt do I need to start kissing?
Mr Pentastar, please step forward and help us out here.
