    Well.. ever since I put my Edelbrock 4 barrel and manifold on my 302.. the exhaust sounds different... Like I know that I can actually hear the carb sucking in air now.. but the exhaust sounds a bit deeper or something.. anyone else experience this?:huh:

    Under full throttle it should sound deeper , at idle it should be the same as the 2bbl unless the 2bbl fuel/air ratio was off.

    Not wanting to hijack the thread but what's the general concensus, should the crossover be blocked or not? and why?

    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    at a time of $3.50 plus a gal you put a 4 bbl on it! j/k ok i shouldn't talk.

    sucking is normal... for exhaust sound.. maybe more gas! more pwr... more noise... lol!

    its used to warm up the carb area in general when it is cold. its like a choke... well not like one but same purpose... IMO you don''t need it.. sit in the car and step on the gas ;)
