FYI - The Doc's customer service can be trying at times, but you never know. He's not as involved any more (semi-retired), but does have a couple of very nice laddies on the desk that will help in getting you the parts you need.
The air in the air cleaner assy will always maintain about 120 degrees F. This is once the exhaust manifolds get hot, which takes less than a minute.
Keep in mind, this is for optimum fuel control and emissions with a carb. That does not mean it is always best for performance. A colder air supply will create a denser air volume, and thus more air into the intake and into the cylinder, which in turn produces a bit more power. It may not be noticable in street use, but might show up on a dragstrip.
AHHHH the land of the long white cloud. CeeDee, do you need your car to be totally original? If not, get rid of that original air restricting can on the carb and put a Holley 600 on with choke and full flow air cleaner, then just wait for the engine to warm up. I believe you can do that in Un Zud and remove all the anti-pollution crap while you're at it. You'll then have a car that both looks good and performs like crazy.
P.S. Just don't drive too fast or you'll run out of road and end up in the drink.
Always nice to hear a Kiwi and Oz-man banter back and forth. Such amicable animosity! Just never thought I'd hear (see) it on the C3VR forums!
Goodonya mate! You both just need to sit down and discuss it over some tucker. I know, I know, Vegemite (spread on anything) for the Oz-man!
I onlhy just make it between gas stations but I can drive as fast as I like. Vegemite invented by Kiwis? I don't think so!!!
Only problem is, the bloody company is owned by the yanks now just like Arnotts
