I'm really happy with the Edelbrock carb/intake on my 67. It is the Performer series.

I have pics in my gallery.

I have the Edelbrock cam, part #2152. I don't think this cam will fit pre-67 Olds. You may have to look for a custom grind for your head angle.

I also am running the 750cfm Edelbrock carb w/auto choke. I'm an old 'Carter' guy and prefer the tuning process.

I have a Performer on a 400 with a stock cam & a Quadrajet. I found that when I switched intakes it pulled much stronger in the mid-range up to the red line.

Stock cam, stock everything on the motor. It now has the dual s-manifold on it. I think it is a pretty good setup, I just need to get it tuned it runs a litlle to rich
