Really? This sounds fugazy to me....
"That said, the cooling system is designed for air to pass in through the radiator so bringing it in separately won’t help and defeats the purpose of the cooling system." - from The Don
The warping and cracking of 359 Packard Korean War aluminum heads had nothing to do with heat and only caused by corrosion?
Not sure I follow.
Cold air induction through the old fresh inlet can add (or maintain) power by feeding the engine colder lower pressure outside air rather than the engine ingesting the preheated under-hood air. The difference can be fairly significant no?
The end of my carb air plenum is right at the where I took the fresh air inlet tube off.
Cold lower pressure air induction can allow for richer carburetion tuning with an increase in power. It can also reduce the tendency for pre-detonation no?
My 64 427 Ford seems to like the air coming in. I thought maybe my Packard would as well. Thoughts are welcome.
