Getting the Intake on Intake Manifolds

Hipolito,

Do not despair.

Back in the day, Holley produced '2' different type of 'Street Dominator'' Intakes for
the 'Mopar 318'

* 300-7 {ie; 300-29Z} ....... 'Open-Plenum'
* 701R-29Z ...................... 'Split-Divider' with Rear Balance Tube

Both were listed as 'Medium-Riser' Single-Plane Intakes, with a 'Low-Profile' design.

Specifically designed for 'Stock-to-Mild' 318 Engines, and with a recommended use of a 600 CFM Carburetor, primarily the 'later' Thermoquads found on the 318 >
{which are rated anywhere between 580 CFM's and 650 CFM's, depending on who you talk to}.

The {#300-7} has an 'Open-Plenum', with slightly curved runners which
provides for a 'fatter' torque-curve.

The Ports are designed for 'Small-Port' 273/318 Cylinder Heads, and the
runner-ports are both 'curved and smooth' to provide for a quicker
throttle response over a 'stock' Intake.

The {#300-7} delivers very good 'Low-End' Torque, because of the massive
restriction under the plenum.

It performs well from 1000 to 4800 RPM's.

The {#300-7} has a Carburetor Flange opening designed for a
Carter Thermoquad Carburetor.

The lightweight Aluminum Intake weighs in at a 'very light' {17 lbs.}.

What I know thru testing.

On a '273 Commando', the Holley {#300-7} Street Dominator put out
{+7 Horsepower} over the 'stock' Cast Iron Intake @ 4000 RPM's.

The 273 responded better with the 'Street Dominator' {over the 'stock' Cast Iron Intake} thru the Bottom-End.

On the 'Track', we gained an average of {-.12} lower Elapsed Times.

But, the MPH was 'identical'.
