Thread: Edelbrock Streetmaster

There were two versions of the Streetmaster one looked like the old style Torker I the second like the Torker II,the #I had straight runners and a square bore flange the #2 had curved runners and a Carb flange is like a 2101 Performer,These both came out around the time of the Jimmy Carter "gas crisis" the small runners were to improve port velocity at lower speeds to promote better mileage and they worked well.They may be a single plane but the RPM range was off idle to 5,000 Max,several cam grinders offered RV & mileage cams Holley had a Economaster that was 450 CFM to replace Quadrajets and the Carb of choice for the square bore intake was the 500 CFM Carter.I was working at M&M Speed and sold a lot of those we even built a "mule motor " for my '65 El Camino it was a 283 bored .060 mild porting with the #1 Intake and a Crower mileage Cam and it could get 26 MPG pulling the grade to Tahoe up U.S. 50 and still run a high 14 second ET at Sacramento Raceway with it's Muncie 4 speed and 3:73's.streetmaster sbc.jpgscan0043 M&M.jpgjun16intakes16.jpg Another Intake that was popular in the same era was the Offenhauser Dual-Port 360.
