Intake and Carb Question 318

Hello all,

Found a combo on Craigslist and wanted some opinions on the intake.

It's the Edelbrock 1406 Carb that I am looking for hooked up to a Edelbrock S.P.2-P318 Intake manifold. Also comes with the air cleaner assembly which is new in the box. Carb and Intake are used.

I have read mixed reviews on the S.P.2. ranging from "This is great for low end toque on otherwise stock engines" to "This is the worst intake manifold of all time." It's from the 70's and was designed as an "economy" manifold, but some people are saying the small runners make for great low end on stockies.

I have a stock 318/904 in my car with 2.76 gears in the back so I'm rarely screaming about 4,000 RPM. For $150, is this a good option to have some fun around town? I was thinking it might be worth it for the Carb and Air cleaner alone. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ben
