    I'm going to be attending a couple swap meets soon and I would like a few pictures of 3x2 or 4x2 intakes for the 1956 Olds 324. I have pictures of the Edelbrock's. But any others including stock cast would be great. Intake numbers would be good to.

    Edelbrock 3x2=OL 396
    Edelbrock 4x2=OL 496

    I've never seen the 4x2 in anything but the '54-'56 large port version, but there are lots of 3x2s out there with the smaller '49-'53 port size.

    OL 396 is the small port 3x2. OL 396B is the large port.. the B is stamped rather than cast like the rest of the PN.

    Both... stare with the light on, then turn it off. If you can still see the image of the intake.... you've done good!
