If you don't find an original intake, you can get a carburetor "wedge plate". Choose a replacement intake for your engine and you can add the "wedge plate" to the top of the new intake. Standard gaskets fit. Both Summit and/or Jegs will have what you are looking for. What color was the Electrodyne Engine and how much angle is on the carb base? Any pictures?
Good Luck;
Steve

it is black plastic of some sort goes from 3/8in to about 1in is longer in the back where the valve cover vent tube goes in so standard gaskets will not fit will send photo tonight when off work.

Do you mean Thermo-Electron ?
If you get the aluminum wedge from summit, you'll need to plumb the PCV into the intake.
