Edelbrock AMC Air Gap Manifold 304-401 CI Engines

If you're working on a 1970-91 AMC V8 engine, specifically those with 304, 360, or 401 cubic inch displacements, this Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake manifold is a solid choice. It's built using race-winning technology found in their Victor Series competition intakes, aiming to give your engine a noticeable boost in power. This manifold fits a wide range of AMC and Jeep vehicles from the early 70s through the early 90s, including models like the Jeep CJ series, AMC Javelin, and Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

The key to this manifold's performance is its Air-Gap design. It creates an open space that separates the intake runners from the hot engine oil. This separation helps keep the incoming air charge cooler and denser, which directly translates to more power when you step on the gas. It comes ready for square-bore carburetors and includes provisions for standard oil fills, PCV systems, and even accessory bosses for early air conditioning brackets. Keep in mind that this manifold does not have provisions for exhaust-heated chokes or an exhaust crossover, which is typical for performance-oriented intake manifolds.

This is a substantial upgrade for your AMC V8, designed to improve airflow and engine breathing. It's a well-built component that brings proven performance technology to your build. For installation, you'll want to ensure you have the correct square-bore carburetor and refer to the manufacturer's instructions for any specific details regarding gasket matching or sealing.
