The one he recommended to us was the one made by Wilson Manifolds. It was a four hole funnel port design I believe. Steve.

Mostly the plemum intake configuration.
Many try to copycat the Wilson design and fail miserably. Pro Form is the WORST! Carb stud holes aren't even close.
Everything they market is JUNK!

In case you guy's don't know he also sells the Wilson spacer.

And I might add he sells them for $5.00 cheaper than Wilson
