HEATED 4 BBL INTAKE

Clifford or Offy had an intake that was preheated by water from the radiator. Did it make any difference?

Clifford has a built in plenum, and absolutely it works.
It actually works in 2 ways. It heats the carb to operating temp, and also keeps it from getting to hot. It will keep the carb and intake right around the temperature of the coolant.
Works well.
