Default Smokey Yunick SY1 intake Factroy Correction Kit?

My one sister picked up a Edelbrock SY1 intake a while back. I've read about how it wasn't a great performer and needed some internal mods to help some of its street manners. The interesting part is the one we have has above average looking internal mods.



For a point of reference, this is what a stock looking SY1 intake looks on the inside.



I've seen some "modified" intakes which loosly resemble these mods with either weld or epoxy.

What I find interesting is that another intake just popped uo on ebay and it looks it have a very similar set-up.




I would love to discuss or even see any Edelbrock doccuments addressing this "wet flow fix mod".

Ive seen those same type of mods on that intake you are adressing Paul. Most of what I've read was due to lean or wet conditions in the intake.

I've seen that on the Edelbrock STR style manifolds as well. It is suppose to prevent fuel puddling.

What I would love to find is any type of factory documentation and/or pictures of this "correction kit". Anyone ever recall seeing those?

Sorry but no pictures. I've had them in the past and they had these mods.
