Agree on the above. Like I said, I know where two on the BG intakes are, you sold 3 more of the units, Mike.

The BG carbs (they used on the intakes) were not ideal by any means.
My intake had true Holley carbs on it and ran fine (after the Intake was ported by Dave Wilcox in Virginia).
I had over $500 tied up in the Porting job.

The first BG Intake I bought at the Norwalk swap meet. It was laying on the ground. (Wonder Why, LOL)
I paid $600 for the intake. As Mike W knows they were going for a lot more than that from BG.
BGTECH did a great job getting me a BG intake finally (3rd try) that could be ported by Dave Wilcox.
I personally would save a lot of money and use a 1966 stock cast iron intake or a PY aluminum Tri-Power intake (1st run)
with the DASHMAN Holley to Rochester adaptors if I did it again.
