It's a 2 piece intake. Just unbolt the top and turn it 180 degrees.

edit; Never mind ! I had a closer look !! Looks like someone butchered the end. I bet they modified it to clear an HEI, then figured out they screwed up because the top half was on backwards.

It's ok if you're running an HEI I guess.

Wow, I totally missed that. I was looking at the dist hole first and couldn't see anything wrong. I reread you post and then went back for another look and spotted the massive machined-out area and just assumed it was cut for an HEI ... I did not even see the top being on backwards.

In my defense I am a door-to-door travelling breast examination specialist ... I'm really only used to using my hands to "see"...

re cutting the flange wont solve it, look at it, its set up for a quadrajet spread bore, large butterflys at the rear so the carb would be on backwards
