Intake manifolds interest me. There`s tons on variables in air delivery.

Will you be doing a before and after dyno run Malc?

I already have a Performer Airgap on the motor which is spread bore and I have a
square bore carb.
I also run a 2" open spacer on the Performer and that´ll be going on the RPM,
should be fun.

Car Craft recently did a comparison test of 23 dual plane manifolds, worth a read.

The AFR Titon manifold might have a few HP more but the Edelbrock price wins.

No dyno facilities here I´m afraid.

Before the manifold got near the car it´s been modified.
I welded the front passenger side water port closed, then drilled and tapped it to take a
sensor for the rad fans.
I also drilled and tapped the water crossover for the temperature sender.

As I took pieces off the old manifold I added them to the new.

I ran into a snag, the strut connector I made is stopping me getting the distributor out.
Tomorrow...............out with the saw........just a little clearancing. :clap:

Late start today. also had to get me some long sawblades to cut that relief for the distributor.

Then it was just a slow installation of the new intake after the old had been lifted.

Tomorrow I´ll fill it with coolant and get it running, a little timing........ :D

Filled her up with coolant, turned the ignition key and it ran like it was never apart...... :clap:

I had to readjust the distributor just a little, then I added a couple more degrees of advance....for fun. :lol:

Then I got back into the car.....horror......it´s pegging 250ºF.

I drained the top of the rad, removed the thermostat and checked it, all okay.
Back together add coolant.
Still at 250ºF.
So I took out the new temp sender and replaced it with the original,
coolant again.
This time it pegged at 180ºF like it should.
I realise now the sender I fished out of the toolbox is a Stewart Warner,
my guages are AutoMeter. :oops:
