Built from durable aluminum with a natural finish, it preserves correct alignment and airflow while avoiding the need to buy a new intake or carburetor. The package includes the gaskets and hardware required for installation, so you can complete the swap with minimal additional parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the adapter enable mixing carburetors and intakes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edelbrock 2696 acts as a precision interface between differing flange patterns and venturi layouts. It aligns the square‑bore carburetor's four individual venturis to the spread‑bore manifold openings so throttle and fuel passages line up correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReconfigures bolt patterns from square‑bore to spread‑bore spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatch individual venturi ports to corresponding manifold runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo permanent modifications to manifold or carburetor required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes installation gaskets and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and dimensions should I expect from this adapter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter is manufactured from aluminum for a balance of light weight, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability.
