When I get a chance, I'll type in all the numbers for each manifold.
Data points were taken at 500 rpm steps.

I wouldn't be surprised to find the RPM is an F4B. Several other
Edelbrock manifolds have turned out to be old manifolds reintroduced.
A friend recently found out the new RPM intake for the 427 Ford is
the same as the F427 he already has. Other intakes have turned out
to be entirely new like the RPM for the 351W. I did check on the
Torker versus Torker II for the small block Ford. Two different
manifolds. The early one was an x-type with twisted carb base.
Not a good intake. The Torker II is a re-design.
