Thanks a lot Glenn!

Glenn,

Actually, it looks like I have an Edelbrock Super Victor intake:

And Edelbrock 1412 carb:

Not 100% on the carb, but it's stamped "1412 0160" on the lower left mount.

Yikes! That manifold/carb would be great for a highly modified 383 stroker that you trailer to the drag strip but it is probably one of the worst street combinations you could possibly run. You need a dual plane manifold that's designed for off-idle to 5,500 RPM The Super Victor is a single plane that dumps fuel straight into your cylinders like the flush of a toilet. The 1412 is a fantastic carburetor - for a modified 454! It's way too much for your build.

Using this induction setup for the street will guarantee frustration and consume copious quantities of gasoline - most of which will be spewed out the tailpipe without making any usable horsepower.

Ditch the Victor and the big Edelbrock and go with this combination:
Weiand Street Warrior Intake Manifold 8126 Weiand 8126 Weiand Street Warrior Intake Manifolds | Summit Racing
Quadrajet JET Performance 34002 JET Streetmaster Quadrajet Stage 2 Carburetors | Summit Racing

A bit simpler and far more streetable!
