Re: intake and exhaust
You can buy and install a heat plate from Langdon's. It works on the stock intake too.
Here's a pic of my 230 with Langdon's cast iron headers and offy intake. First pic is stock intake and heat plate. Second is with Offy and Holley 350 2 bbl. |

Re: intake and exhaust
No, you can use this:
http://stoveboltengineco.com/index.p...roduct=1222036 What this does is replace what the exhaust heat was doing. Runs the hot water up through the chamber in the intake to heat up the fuel. The exhaust heat was doing this before. Helps get a smooth warm up so the fuel going through the intake isn't as cold. Does more complicated stuff, but I can't remember exactly. But this will fix the problem your having.

Re: intake and exhaust
It's usually best to use the water heated set-up on the intake.You might get by with out if you live in a year round warm climate but you could still have driveability issues.The 6 cyl intake has such long runners that the fuel tends to condense and puddle in the intake.

Re: intake and exhaust
If you live below the 33rd Parallel, you may not need carb heat. I live in Tucson AZ, and never had it on my 292. Runs great.

Re: intake and exhaust
For the following reasons:
(I quoted these from http://yarchive.net/car/heated_intake.html) "This heat is distinctly different from the air intake heat which can be eliminated. The heated manifold offsets the cooling effect of gasoline and it promotes the vaporization of gas that would otherwise adhere to the manifold walls and flow to the cylinders as liquid." And you don't run water through the intake, theres a small chamber under the intake that circulates heat under where the gas flows. That small chamber doesn't actually mix the water with the gas if thats what you meant. Horribly worded sorry.

Re: intake and exhaust
basically it keeps the fuel from puddling on the bottom of the intake, with out heat they tend to bog off idle and sputter.mine does bog slightly but my gearings so low i really don't notice.
my headers are clifford shorty headers, i'd perfer long tube headers, but didnt have the dough so bought these used. i'll also be converting to dual carbs this winter, ill be making my intake heated then. hoping i'll notice a big difference. oh yeah i painted them that color they came plain.
