Mike's Affordable New Intake Manifold
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from Mike's promoting his new repro intake manifold. It is not inexpensive. His claims are better mileage and performance. Does anyone have experience with an original manifold of this design? What phenomena are the claims based on? There may be a patent application that covers this. If so, does anyone know what it is? I want to get some background before I approach Mike. Thanks.

Re: Mike's Affordable New Intake Manifold
Questions came up on these last year. Here is a link.
https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=297463 I don't know if it helps anything. A person would have to try it and find out. I'd be skeptical to a degree whether it would improve mileage or performance but it likely wouldn't hurt it. It was patented years ago so that ran out long ago. |

Re: Mike's Affordable New Intake Manifold
So if you have a B carb, one of these might be good because the bore on the updraft tube is larger?
