Ports are bigger on 79 intakes,better flow
The carb,they also call it a big top,
Suppose to get better flow im not sure if the CFM is the same or not,alot of people like using the 79 set up..
*flow better than any other 12A stock set up..

THe 79-80's with the thermo reactors didn't have the ACV and all the emissions passages in the intake. The earlier intakes had nice smooth runners. You can make the later intakes flow like the earlier ones, but it takes a couple hours of grinding/filling holes with JB.
The 79-80 carbs don't flow as well as the later carbs. I can't remember why though.
