| It does and it dosn't............ |

......like so many "good ideas" some work and some don't.
The Ford engine coolent heated carb spacer is a good example of this in practice.
My personal opinon on this set up is that it was orignaly intended to heat up the carb on cold mornings, but it tends to cool the carb at this time becase of the cool engine coolent...
also when the engine is heated up, when you want a cooler fuel charge it heats up the carb thereby heating up the fuel.
(I'm sure you know the effects of tempature on fuel)
It almost operates backwards of the way that it was intended.
No harm will come of by passing this feature.... most other FE engines did not have this feature and operated fine without it and with the heater core hose going directly into the water pump.
I'm bypassing mine on my Galaxie...
If you are interested I have an idea to use this spacer in a heat exchanger system.
My first post in months. How does it rate?
