Edelbrock LD340 WTH?!?!?

I bought a rebuilt 340 that had an airgap on it. Quickly swapped it out for a $50 used Weiand dual plane
that was taking up space. The Weiand ran perfect and the airgap sold immediately at a nice profit. I doubt
if there was any performance difference and the Weiand looked better and was a better intake for a street car.
If you are building day 2 restoration then the LD340 or stock intake are necessary and would be my choice.
I like new things, but not until they get old.
