Very Happy with the car after installing the intake:D:D. I had a little intake leak on #1 cylinder(on the old intake). Used RTV sealant instead of the front and rear cork gaskets, lets the intake sit on the engine better than the cork gaskets. The car is running the best it ever has, good low end and mid range torque.
This intake is about 1" higer and the carburetor sits about 1/2" forward of the Edelbrock 7105. Ports matched up real good.

Looks good Rick I see what you mean on the forward shift. The narrowing of the runners really increase the velocity. Can't wait to hear it. Did get a hold of Monica.
Thanks

Tony,
I made it out of some 1/8" thick aluminum scrap I had. Need to make another as the intake runner for #7 cylinder gets in the way. So it has to sit higher and clear the runner, another project.
