Lemme make sure I've got this right: Jegs says Edelbrock carbs won't fit on Edelbrock intakes???? When they say "any Edelbrock carb (acrd?) would not fit," they might be trying to say SOME Edelbrock carbs (Thunder/AVS Series?) might need an adapter plate for certain Edelbrock intakes - or something like that. If you're just looking for a bit more performance from a 2bbl to 4bbl conversion and not a 400-plus hp monster engine, I'd suggest the manifold you're looking at (Performer) with the Edelbrock Performer Series carb #1406. That's a 600cfm vac. secondary, square bore, electric choke carb; nothing too fancy. The average Rochester Q-jet would also work, although the Edelbrock carbs generally require less maintenance; the Performer intake/1406 carb combo would basically be a bolt 'em up and go set-up. When using the 1406 carb, certain Edelbrock intakes are not RECOMMENDED (which doesn't mean they won't fit). The 1406 is not recommended for any Edelbrock intake other than the Performer or Performer EPS; I have no idea what the Performer EPS is.
Hope that helps!
