Default Re: 35 ford running bad-need suggestions

I've plugged my intake crossover risers when I lived in florida. Made a difference in carburetor heat.

Still have them in, now in mn. (I only drive when it's warm, above 40 degrees (and the salt is gone))

I guess back in the day you needed that heat to warm up a carburetor in the cold, quickly. Then... when you only drove that vehicle as a family car (only). To most, it is fairly impractical and adds heat to an area that doesn't need it. I just used a couple sheetmetal shims.

Racers have been pluggin them for ever.



My opinion anyway.
