A related tid bit ? Just after the NW intake was first introduced Pontiac Enthusiast magazine did an article titled "North Winds Of Change". In it they compared the intake to the Edelbrock Victor with a statement by Jeff Kauffman that it offers
1 1/4-inch more hood clearance. But the method of measuring the manifold heights within the article, and height comparison photo presented, were VERY misleading. Lots of discussion about that on line at the time.
Also noted, both Dave Bisschop and Butler state 1 1/4" Shorter Than Victor Intake. Now compare the height of the Victor and Torker II.
Similar situation here, how does the "TIN INDIAN" determine the dimensions ? The Edelbrock catalog states the Torker II is 6.03' at the front of the carb flange and 7.15" at the rear, measured to the engine block.
Edelbrock states the Victor is 7.70" / 7.70"
