rebuild your stock carb, recurve the distributor and call it a day. the ch4b or performer intakes would work well in your application however other than shedding 10 lbs you will see no difference. a waste of money imo. if you were putting in a cam I'd say ok. but with the stock cam in there your car will see no gain.
Yep. Good advice right here.
I completely disagree.....the weight savings would be 20 lbs
You would just move the power around the rpm range a bit (with a manifold change) and any net increase that you might get would only be found in the weeds of an et time slip. You would never notice it on the street.

I would be surprised if an Edelbrock Performer (or any modern dual plane) was worse than stock at any rpm. Better runner design, and also designed for off idle. But I confess I've never looked too close at the low low numbers
Looking for 1975 through 1978 B body 4 door sedan sheet metal or parts cars - monaco, fury, coronet. Please let me know
