Intake Manifold Question

well here in calif we block them , do to the fuel boil out on the carbs . the heat transfors under the carb is okay for cold weather driving . but in the golden state the weather does not warrant it . so an electric choke does the warm up enough . took me many hour of hairpulling tuning to track it down . and now i'm bald , lol . well nearly . even with the blockoff passage a series of gasket n plates are used under the carb to help dump the heat so it won;t get to the carb . using a weber afb . found its better then the eddy's i've had . this was in my darts until it got dented to the frame sold it to a guy with a tee boned dart . the two made one great car again .DSC07565.JPG
