Bad link. Never heard of such a thing. You mean torque link?

[pdq67]

Yes, Torque Link!

It won't fit under the hood of your Camaro.

-here is one I modified with port windows and an exhaust heat riser among other things.

-I used it on my 67 El Camino with a 406 SBC---it works OK but I really didn't see any magic with it.

havent seen one of those in a long time....wish I never sold my 300-36 that was a good intake

My 2x qjets ( "Six shooter" ) on a dual carb adapter scheme is applyable to this intake with split plenum.

More top end than a single 4 bbl carb. Smooth tunable 2x4 seconary throttle progession
with the qjets. 1300++cfm @ wot.

The dual carb adapter could be open or split plenum also.

Big "TorK" but more top end too.

The Tork LinK manifold works the best when the camshaft valve events are well
matched to it. On a healthy motor with the split plenum manifold it really needs the extra
carb flow capacity of the 2 Qjets over a single 4bbl carb. Essentually a progressive air valve controled "tri power" carb setup. Using 2 readily available spare inline mounted pre 1975 4mv Qjet carbs with minor changes.

Been a long time and not exactly sure who it was.. maybe was Tony Bischoff or maybe even big Joe Sherman.. but I remember reading/seeing an early engine masters challenge writeup and pic of the torque link manifold with the divider cut out completely.

Whoever it was also said this manifold was as much as 50 points(not a misprint) up over the single plane down in the 2500-3000 rpm range but just didn't help the points at all once the rpm climbed. Said the manifolds long runners made stupid power down low and the cut plenum just couldn't fix its shortcomings up higher in the rev range(which iirc was only 6500 back then.. early 2000's?). So seems doubtful a 6 shooter or even a 20 shooter for that matter just wouldn't fix such a shortcoming no matter how much they flowed.

Double post

Using he Six Shooter also allows you to shorten the tuned length of the intake runners a bit by shortening the common wall of the paired intake runners which also lengthens the plenum
All while keeping the plenum divider intact.
These both will increase the top end power. If thats what you want.
