| Do I need the Heat Riser |
| By 66 LTD - 01/30/2001 11:35:25 AM; IP 198.182.9.1 |
I have a 66 LTD with a 390, stock exhaust manifolds but dual exhaust (one pipe for each side). I am running a Carter AFB with an electric choke. The current heat riser does not have the plate in it and is just a pass through. The car was originaly a 2bbl with the hot air choke system. Will fixing or replacing the Heat Riser valve improve my cold starts? If the car sits for a day with out being run it takes it a good ten to twenty seconds worth of cranking to get it started and it always lopes for a while before running smooth in high idle. I have replaced all the gas lines with metal ones and dont have any obstructions from the pickup in the tank to the carb. I initialy thought that was the reason for the long cranking. I am not an expert when it comes to fine tuning a carb so my problem could also be there.
Thanks |
