    Posted: Sep/27/2022 at 9:01pm
In a trade I ended up with a brand new in the box Edelbrock Torker 2935 intake. On the label it says, 2935 AMC-69 360-401. I didn't think anything about it until I got it home and all the bolt holes are in line. Okay it's not for a 360-401 it's for a 290-390. So out of curiosity I look to see what the correct part number for a 360-401 intakes is and I see it's a 2930. When I look at the label and instructions Edelbrock provides it shows it fits a 343-401. How can Edelbrock make the intakes and not know what they even fit. This intake was made 10-01-2001, so you would have though that far back when they were a good company they would have had it together. Guess not!!! LOL

Haha, I think that's the same intake I almost bought earlier this week.  Was for sale outside Indy on the book face.   I ended up buying one locally that popped up right as I was about send money for this one.

Rather interesting on the labeling problem. I wonder if someone within the company mininterpreted "same" for all part numbers.  I imagine the same casting was used for all engine models, but needs a different machining operation to differentiate the part numbers.  
Possible that a person in the marketing/shipping/customer relations department was fed bad info or read it incorrectly before selling to the vendors and there was a bad group of labels. 

Just a theory.

I guess they're not making them anymore, so it is a nice score either way if the price was right. I had a hard time finding an early R4B for my 343 and it wasn't cheap, 70+ is a lot more common it seems.
I've finally given up drinking for good...........now I only drink for evil.

Is that the twisted carb Torker?
I bought one for a 360. But didn't verify that it wasn't for the older 290 deck height engines.
Mine was the Twisted Carb style, an earlier style.
I hope I didn't buy the wrong one.

Aren't all AMC Torkers twisted?

All AMC Torker's are twisted, not all Edelbrock Torker's are twisted.

Early 290, 343, and 390 have all the bolt holes in a perfect line down each side.

Later 304, 360, and 401 have the center two bolt holes on each side moved up towards the valve cover.
