im almost done putting together my 305 tpi for my 1991 camaro convertible ..

i just put on the edelbrock vortec tpi intake manifold and when i was transfering the metal shield thing on the bottom of it from the old one i noticed it sayed scoggin dickey on the bottom .. lol

so im assuming there both the same .. does anyone know if scoggin dickey ports theres a little more or are they exactly the same ..

ive seen some people have trouble with the scoggin dickey ones ..but mine bolted up flawlessly ..

 

I would say that the intake manifolds are different. Intakes are Edelbrock's bread and butter; I doubt they would pass off someone else's parts.

I'm sure they bought a boat load of the heat shields from scoggin-dickey because it was cheaper to buy them than to make their own. That way they know that it is a quality related part and they don't have to test it out.

 

They are the same part. Edelbrock makes the manifold for Scoggin Dickey, but Scoggin Dickey sells them cheaper.

 

Don't ya just love the fast paced world of aftermarket performance parts , don't feel too bad , if this happened to me I'd find a used one for $75 the day after I put the new one on .

 

That makes much more sense to me. Good info to know!

 

yea .. thats what the guys at summit told me .. edelbrock makes a BUNCH of parts for other companies ..

they were laughin when they told me this .. so i guess theres something they know and we dont ..

also .. i bought some "summit racing" heads and the guy said that summit owns "trick flow" and there the same exact thing, just cheaper ..
