B4B. Yeah, T/A needs your money more than Edelbrock, but a dual plane is hard to beat for a warmed over street engine. The Performer has the carb pad moved in relation to the B4B so the Stage 1 guys can use the "cold air" hood set up, but if I remember correctly, the forward cylinders run even leaner than the B4B. Although, every chiropractor in the world would want you to re-use that freakin' cast iron intake ........
Non of thee above, I have this guy custom make mine, http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127750 The Name you should never forget, MARCELLA MANIFOLDS( John Marcella). Just look at the pictures. You don't have to reply to me at all.
I always was wondering whats the rest of the story behind that senario? Single plane and a holley dp too rich, I have to think one does not know how to tune a holley. Holleys will bet any q-jet and eddy anyday of the week at a drag strip but for street and strip duty, I recommand a ProSystems SV1 if you can afford it, but if not, go with a eddy and you'll be just fine.
Larry,<o></o> Was there a different B4B intake that fit? I have one that was on my convertible and from what I remember it fit the hood air openings just fine. It had the front air cleaner bracket on it also.<o></o> <o></o> Thanks<o></o> Nelson<o></o>
The B4B moved the carburetor pad forward I believe. So the air cleaner snorkel foams didn't line up with the hood opening.
I got tired of grinding on the ports of the Poston S-Divider intake and bought a used Edelbrock Performer on ebay for my Riviera motor. If anyone wants to take a chance and finish opening up the ports of this S-divider, send me a PM and I will make you a good deal on this one. Later, RS On 2/15/13 I sold the Poston intake mentioned here to a board member. Thanks Mike! RS
i had the same questions, I'm running a SP1 intake with stage 2 iron heads, I talked with TA performance and they said to use composite .062 gaskets and a modified valley pan! Automotive Machine @Performance 270-729-5556, they make a vally pan just for this app. its $35.00 but very nice!
hello all. i have a buick 455 in my 79 trans am i have eddy heads also have the eddy 2146 performer. i have been told i can cut out the center divider out of the performer eddy inletmanifold. what would be the advantage of this.many thanks kev
No, you notch the divider on the secondary side, not remove it completely. It has breathing advantages. It equalizes flow between the 2 planes.
Kev, I posted the picture so you didn't have to ask me that:grin: Looks like about halfway down from the top, on the secondary side.
Tried many combos.....I remove half of the divider all the way across. Then a 1/4 in spacer with a 4 hole 1/2 on top of that. The notched secondary was for Holley 3 barrels.....
