Power Valve Selection: The Definitive Answer
Haven't had the van out for almost a month, too damn hot (mid 90s and humid) but got a heat shield installed. Used the same foil backed insulating mat as for the cold air box and doghouse panels. Attached to the underside of the airbox, it lays on top of the radiator hose/thermostat and on top of the intake around the carb base. Really keeps the heat from radiating to the carb bowls just letting it run in park as well as after its off, heat soaking will likely be much less. I also relocated (and insulated) the pressure regulator to keep that from boiling the fuel. You guys with all that underhood space got it easy!! The sooner these oppressive temps take a break I hope to really get down to fine tuning this carb and seeing the results of the PV change
