I know I've been full of questions lately, but I've got another one. I'm getting ready to move to NC soon, so I've been reading up on heated intakes. While I'm reading some old discussions on the board, it hits me like a brick. All the problems listed for unheated intakes apply to my motor. I got curious the other day when I noticed what looked like condensation on the lower part of my carb. I thought this was fairly odd because I live in south Georgia and there was no condensation before I started the motor. I have stumbling at part throttle, good plugs, but sooty black exhaust.
Anyway, I want to find out exactly what I need, and how I hook it up. I have this much so far:
"I routed the hoses similar to what Jack outlined. Got an older-style thermostat housing that had pipe fittings in both sides of it. Blocked off the one on the pass. side and ran the hose from the driver's side of the housing to the hole at the front of the intake. Then ran the hose from the rear of the intake into the heater core. The other hose from the heater core runs to the normal intake position on the engine. Heater works fine this way too and the hoses fit fine without cluttering up the engine compartment too badly."
What type of hoses? I have a C10 with a 250, stock intake and 1-barrel and dual exhaust manifolds. Sorry for the extra long post, I'm just kinda excited that this might solve my problems. Thanks for the help. John.
