Default Re: Intake manifold getting hot

The rubbing block on new points wear and the gap reduces . When the points gap gets less than eighteen thousands the engine will soon begin not to run as well . Points gap effects timing . Less gap retards , more gap advances . Even slightly retarded operation will cause the manifolds to run hotter .
