The AA-1 was stock on the GMC 302 for a few years, the others were found on flatties. Most people either run 2 or 3 carbs and block off the other holes, all 5 is way too much carburation for a 235 unless it can run at 10,000 rpm.

That is a wicked looking manifold with the fins. The howard log I have for my 302 doesn't have those fins... maybe a chevy/ gmc thing. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 | Never seen one of them except in pictures. I think the old Patrick's catalog has a picture of one with 5 Strombergs on a Jimmy. What's pictured on eBay isn't all of it. Right? You still need three curved "runners" back to the head. Cool looking thing, though.
