Another Newbie Question, part II

["hi 50" <ckyk@hotmail.com>]

The suggestions involve getting parts from a used parts place and adapting 
it to my current engine?  Is this correct, I got lost in some of the 
technical language.  How about "kits" from Affordable, Edlebrock, Howell, 
etc; any comments on these companies?  Thanks.  Charles

Now ya done it, GN doesn't have the cool tube factor, guess just have to
make up for that with a killer cal.  Hahahahaa.
FWIW, I sent a guy the 3rd bin., I done for mine, and after having run a
bunch of aftermarket ones seemed to like mine alot <g>......
