Sweet! What would the aluminum intake have come from? I never heard of Ford making a stock aluminum intake for that engine.

I have the same intake, as does GMGT. I guess its very simmilar to the first edelbrock performer intakes for 289/302.
If your stock 2bbl linkage doesnt work for some reason you can get lokar cables. The throttle linkage might be fine but make damn sure your TV rod/cable is working correctly or you'll toast your AOD real fast.

ya one of the cable's has a nub it snappes on to, but the holly carb dosent have it, the tv rod should work on that carb tho right?
Dose the tv use a cable and rod? is there a special adapeter to add that nub for the one cable?Comment

My car had a TV rod and it was CFI, not too sure what carb cars had but its more that likely a rod. I tried attaching the old rod to the carb for kicks but I couldnt get it to be ajusted anywhere near correct and didnt want to risk it. So I got the lokar TV cable and never looked back.

My carbed '89 has a TV rod. Dave, yours should have a rod and two cables (assuming you have cruise control, if not, then one cable).

ok,, i got a nother 4bbl carb today, its a holley, but it says on the secondary float bowl "Manufactured by holley for motocraft" its got the right hook up's for the linkage to..Comment

Sweet. Can't wait to see what it'll do with a 4bbl. I think everyone with a 2bbl should switch to 4bbl. I plan on gettin an 82 Vic and swapping to a 4bbl.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

I know sombody that made the switch on a big oll ford truck and picked up some miles per gallon I wonder if it was that it just runs better not being choked or what?Comment

It's a combination of factors. For one, if an engine is undercarbureted, it's running out of venturi area to suck in air. That pressure drop has to be made up, and it gets made up by more gas. More gas=fewer mpgs.
Also, the primaries in a 4 bbl are smaller than a 2 bbl, so if you don't floor it thru every stoplight, you'll pick up a little economy. If you DO floor it, well, hehehe...not so much.
