RE: 352 Intake
By Dave Shoe - 03/16/2001 6:56:51 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
I drive my FE452 year round up here in Minnesota and have never had a problem with the lack of heat crossovers in the Blue Thunder intake (I still have a two foot thick blanket of snow across my lawn, dagnabbit! Six feet for the season, but the sun is winning the battle against the snow these days.)

Running with the crossover operating is generally fine, but if you find your carb vaporlocking in warmer weather due to the ethanol that's now mixed with most gas, an effective solition to the problem would seem to be blocking the exhaust crossover, particularly in an aluminum intake, where the heat is more quickly conducted to the carb.

I agree that, if the car runs fine with the passage functional, leave it be.

JMO,
Shoe.
