I've looked for a specific carb scoop but I've seen nothing I want like these links above. I'm looking for the angled, finned and low profile... it has to go well with my finned valve covers.

Is it a Cal Custom??? If so I think I know which one. The finned one I'm thinking you want always goes for $$$. If I see one I'll post it

I think that's the brand name... If you are thinking what you know - is it the type where if looking to front side: the sides are angled, has the narrow slot and where the back of the scoop are met with top angled to bottom? Yup, I've seen a couple went for $$ but hey, it's what I want for my valve covers ( their finned tops are slight curved).

Oh, the carb slot under the scoop has to fit a 4-bbl.

This will tell me for sure does the wing nut or cap have ribs on it to match the top??

Ah... now I remember - yes, right! The wing nut has ribs to match the top.

The scoop you want is a Cal Custom scoop and I even would like to get my hands on one of those. The ones I have seen on ebay always go for about 250-$300

63Mercury I think this is the one your looking for
