    Yes I have been over Fordbarn. A lot retired Gold Chainers over there that has lived and done it. You have to have thick skin. I hope to find some information on the intake. I did searches but no clues. Hamb rules.

    The Fordbarn is a lot more hot rod than you think. Many guys over there have speed equip on their old Fords.

    I would not say that flathead knowledge is necessarily deeper there than here... but Fordbarn does get you several very expert people who don't come here. The reverse is true too...

    From the carb positioning, it looks like an Edmunds mold that had the name changed.

    I agree is does look a little like Edmonds. Edmonds are flat across were the gen mount. This one has dip.

    There were many manifolds and heads made in "universal" molds with inserts for name and logo changes. Speed shops had branded parts made in this way.

    You might be right. Lucky I had some pic of Edmonds intake had to get weld up. There is a lot difference. Thanks again for all comments. Hope there someone knows about the intake.

    Keep in mind that there were several different Edmunds intake styles, as he used many different foundries to make his manifolds.

    Ryan moderates the ford barn for a damn good reason.
    Those guys have steered me in the right direction hundreds of times.
    Mostly all of them have hotrod parts and some of them were the original hotrodders in the 50's, Don't be so quick to downplay their knowledge and generosity.
    Cool intake. never seen one.

    More than likely made by Edmunds. As with Fenton, you will often see intakes that look the same but have different logo,s. Apparently if you ordered 100+ intakes, Fenton would produce them with your specific logo.

    Are you looking at the Roof Intake? I am plan on running that one on my 1928 Roadster. Do you have any 1932 Air Cleaner? They would look cool on the Roof intake.

    My brother has some 1934 parts for sale. He bought them thinking there were 1932 parts. He is a real dip shit.
