Manifold Heater
I saw this photo on another forum. What is that trumpet behind the carb? Some sort of fresh air inlet?

Re: Manifold Heater
Must have been for really cold climates. The funnel directs air to around the exhaust pipe to add to the air going across the exhaust manifold. I like the removable patch near the distributor which I assume is to gain access to the screw hold the distributor in place.
There is a lot more going on in this photo. What is the funny thing where the sediment bowl would normally be? Also, what is the black object on the port side of the car?

Re: Manifold Heater
It is a late firewall and indented. That is the fuel shut off. The sediment bowl is supposed to be attached to the carb, but different that the early one.

Re: Manifold Heater
Sediment bowl is on the carb agree about the electric fuel valve, the black object could be an electric motor for the horn hanging under the hood middle

Re: Manifold Heater
I have driven my A in the winter, and never noticed any thing with the carb other than opening up the fuel mixture till it gets good and warmed up.

Re: Manifold Heater
What is the cream yellow material between the manifold heater and the firewall door?
