I remember thinking that it looked like it had a 6-71 on it, and
Edelbrock certainly makes (or at least made) manifolds for suck-through
applications of the 6-71. However I also remember the blower being
clutched, which made little sense -- unless it was a blow-through
application with some sort of bypass for when the blower was shut
down.

Whatever. It had that nice 6-71 whine, which is what _really_ matters :-)
