That is my main reason to discount the intake as the culprit. As far as the dist goes the skip white should be fine and while on e-bay you can pick up a Cyclone dual plane they looks to be copies of the Edelbrock at about half the price since your not a used part fan. I would look for the performer copy that has dual bolt holes for both patterns of carb and a idle to 5000-5500 rpm range. Jim
I couldn't agree with these comments more.
