Ok, I finally got that new edelbrock intake and carter carb on my beast! She sounds and feels much better!!! It is not all that I had hoped but it is still a major improvement. I had several problems.....while taking off the old intake, I broke a bolt. apparently someone had been in there before me and jb welded a smaller stud in one of the intake holes, well of course I broke it off and could not get it out. We had to heat up the head and work it out. I am not sure why they did this an not just put in another right size bolt? The threads were just fine so??? Oh well job done!!

Thanks again for all your help.
Next up dual exhaust!
