Intake & Carb question
Carb number is on lower left of base plate. I bet it says 9636S. Pretty much the same as an Edelbrock 1406. Great street carb, maybe a bit small for a built 340.
The intake is a Edelbrock Torker II. It won't make the power of a Victor Jr, and wont have the throttle response of a Performer RPM. Not a bad intake, but there might be better designs for your application.
What upgrades did you have in mind? What's your combo now? Cam, compression, converter, gears, etc...
