I can't quite tell from above, is price a concern?
If so, there are some older Ford Aluminum intakes that can be had for much less than the Edelbrock products.
I'm not sure of the part numbers. I'm sure one of the Gurus will check in shortly.

I ran into a bit of a problem with the 1st Edelbrock performer 390 intake I installed. It seesm as though they machined the distributor hole off center so badly that the distributor would not even slide down into the motor.
Summit was more than happy to replace it with another after they contacted Edelbrock and they told him that yes this was a problem they were aware of.
I got the 2nd intake installed and even though the distributor now fits in the hole it is still off center enough to cause the rubber seal not to make 100% contact all the way around the distributor....it will probably leak oil with out a good coat of RTV.

It hauls the 10,000 lb load pretty well considering the 21 years it has on it. On a normal day I can be heard upto around a mile away with no load. I'm hoping the 390 will be a little louder.

I noticed that the Performer 390 intake I got doesn't allow the dizzy to sit right in there either; I'm going to have to shave it slightly to make it go down. I thought that I was crazy until I read this thread.

easy on the son stuff aihgt i only got one dad and u aint him (dont wanna start a fight just hate that term ) just sayin in a 76 it was loud and last time i looked a 76 was a lot of steel and an 82 had a lot of sound deadening matterial in the cab better acoustiics
the 76 in question has a rubber floor mat camper window and a cardbord headliner the only thing soft was the saddle blanket seat cover, the pipes came out 2" above the cab and about 3" behhind it no mufflers and 2 1/2" pipe out of 3" colectors so add it all up and u get to ge deaf if you stay in there too long
oh btw drop off a 9percent grade with five cord of fire wood on a goose neck over a two mile run and you get the equivelent sound of a twelve guage bein fired right behind your head every ten seconds = loud
