Edelbrock AirGap question

The honest and true back story of its actual history I can not confirm. However, the “How to” Carter book has a 3 barrel carb pictured and stating it was for the Pontiac racing effort.
Yes, GM used them pretty much exclusively, I think. I've heard from several local "old guy" sources that Chevrolet used them straight from the factory on some things, but I've never been able to verify that. What IS verified though is, they WERE used on the Baldwin Motion cars. But those were modified by the Baldwin dealer, although they were still new. I don't "THINK" Ford or Chrysler ever used either version.
