Early 273 intake problems

Jed,
Remember that just changing to a 4 barrel intake and carb. will not make much difference in power. The crank, cam, lifters, pistons, rods, heads & ports & combustion chambers and distributor timing may all need to be changed if you want better performance.
Have to disagree on this. Changing from the terrible 2bbl intake system to 4bbl AFB makes a world of difference, even if you change nothing else.
