Something I'm wondering about on this TR always being called the offical Two Lane Blacktop TR....
If you look at the picture of the one from the movie, it appears to have a plate and looks like it's a three piece TR? Looks a little different from the one posted.

Chandler you are correct and I have the other three piece top that you are referring too but I haven't had time to switch them out yet.

Thanks for the info Mark.
I didn't know there was a different 4150 top for that intake. I imagine the more common top, like you have pictured would be more suited for the street, given the smaller plenum volume.
I've got one of those older TR's that has the &quot;say why-and&quot; cast into it. Now I'll be looking for one of those tops. Probably should look for a needle in a hay stack first.

Here's one I picked up a few years ago. Prices got cheap the last day of the swap meet and I got this for 75.00, complete with linkage.

I like this and I am looking for one of these to add too my tunnel ram collection. As for the say-why-and intake top they are out there and I have found two to switch out the tops leaving the carbs in tacked. The base of my intake is an older say-why-and but that top was switched out for the street like you mentioned.

I may have two of the Edelbrocks with the Dom. top. There is one on Ebay also, but I think one of the linkage tabs has been cut off. If I understand you correctly, you have two of the tops like on the Two Lane Blacktop TR?
Thanks for all the post from everyone.
