Hi
I bought a edmunds dual intake for my 52 thunderbolt 327 to enhance a rebuild ,I got it from a forum member
The intake came with a couple of stormb erg carbs ,aero s ,which I had rebuilt
It has a hot water circuit as the dual manifolds are noted to get cold because of the vaporized fuel mixture condensing on the walls of the intake and making for unreliable mixture
One y 's the hot water line from the I heater line from the water pump and y's back after the heater coil in to the head to make a parceled circuit ,this feature makes the edmunds systems desirable
I also got a 288 head and put this on for a compression hike
I ran a 12 v - gr system with a pertronix in the dist so I could run a hot coil
I used the 518 a conversion to get the overdrive
So what happened?
Don't know ,I over heat
Hmm
The radiator is recore ,the water pump and thermostats ,replaced hoses replaced the heat tube looks ok the heater core replaced and seems to circulate ,
Is it my dual carb set up ?
Ps can I attach phone pics?
