Can someone tell me the last time the chiefs in Glendora made a sensible decision?

Uh ..... Yeah, there's one of those manifolds (the "D" unit) on E-Bay now for $2700. Makes 700 for the LD340 sound like a steal.

We have been racing MoPar since 1972. We also were a WD for MoPar back in the 80's-early 90's. Chrysler would have Edelbrock cast a Chrysler part number into many intakes in order to sell it over the counter as one of their parts. I have several odd pieces from Edelbrock that have Chrysler numbers in them...one example is a Edelbrock STR intake manifold top for use with a TQ carburetor.They did the same thing with other suppliers too,such as Prestolite with their distributors and ignition parts.

I don't have a dog in this fight,just giving some historical parts info.

Jim, Edelbrock also did the 440-6 intakes for the '69's , casting #3412046. These intakes also have the 'Edelbrock' logo cast on one of the runners. In 1970, the 440-6's went to cast iron intakes.

As far as the LD4B & LD340 intakes....I've seen a NOS one in the original Edelbrock box that had the Chrysler number on it. -Al

I have one for the 383-4 & 440-4 & 440-6 with Chrysler part numbers, Edelbrock parts, had them a long time.

Double post...oops.

Seems to me if Chrysler or any other manufacture had an outside source supply them with a product and an OEM part number was cast into it, and you could buy it over the counter, it should be allowed. Just saying.
