Re: Hot Air Car Intake

There is a tube that is permanently fixed in the manifold. It acts as a heat stove and is sealed at the bottom to prevent any exhaust from entering. A steel tube of a smaller diameter is inserted into this fixed tube and attached to the carburetor. There should never be any exhaust actually in the tube connecting the manifold to the carburetor, only hot air. I've included a shot of a fixed tube from 51Packard's project blog.



Edit: Although the above photo looks similar to the setup I have in my '41... I just remembered that my '41 has a '48 356 with a Carter carburetor. Yours may be different.
