Thread: 72 Vette intake choices

Tweet

Well I was thinking of putting a new carb on my wife's 72 vette which I am going to since the old one is junk. And it's a spread bore which I don't care for either. So I was thinking of a Weiand action plus intake or something with a low profile since there is not alot of hood clearance. I want to put something like a edelbrock 750 on it for the clean looks and decent performance. Any suggestions on a good set up with clearance issue's
like I have. Thanks Kurt

Edelbrock has quite a few low intakes if your going with there carb it may be worth a look at there manifolds too

I was thinking Edelbrock intake too but to tell the truth this will be the first Edelbrock carb that I've run too. I like them for thier easy adjustment screws and the looks.
They remind me of the old Carter 625 carbs I used to run on my big block dodges.
This Vette is just sitting and wasting away because of a few problems.
It's gonna get a longer hood so I can take out the door that always fails and burns up the wiper motor when the vaccum control does not work right.
Then new pontiac firebird electric head light motor to get them away from vaccum too.
Then some new glass T Tops to get rid of the stock one's that have all kinds of cracks in them and have never sealed to keep the rain out. Next to have the interior done and see if he can cut down the after market seats I had put in there. The original seats the rails were rusted through along with part of the seat frame it's self. the after market fit nice be you sit to high. the old one's, I could not see over the hood and these seats, you feel like your sitting on the roof. Maybe the interior guy can do something for them.
We wil see, I guess. I want to try to have it done by next month so the wife can drive it again.

Well Cffisher; I got the edelbrock performer intake and carb plus some other goodies for hooking everything up with gasget studs and new bolts and linkage.
Everything cost to the tune of $600.00 bucks but cheaper then I thought it was gonna be.
