Original 1968 Factory 340 Equipped With Hot Air Stove?

[dibbons]

I have not seen the SB high performance exhaust manifolds equipped/offered with the sheet metal thing that provides warm air to the air cleaner. Did the factory use them and, if so, where are they? Thank you.

Looks like the OP stated 1968 in title. Maybe looking for pre 70.

According to "Yearone" the same one was use from 68-71

All that P2946105 does is keep the plug wires from burning up. I can't recall any 340s before '70-'71 having the hot air system that the OP mentions

everyone i ever had was this style, no heat riser because no place for the heat to go. all had the factory "unsilenced" air cleaner

Well then, if the factory air cleaner had no inlet for warm air, I guess that answers my question.

Those ears in post #3 do not look like they belong on the high performance exhaust manifolds i am referring to.

In post #5 that heat shield has no connection to the air cleaner that I can see.

Yeah. No warm air stove to the carb in 1968.
You must be restoring as you sure wouldn't need carb heat in Mexico.

that's the genius of the Chrysler engineers. in hot climates the "heat riser" actually becomes a "heat dropper" and pulls warmth from the carb to the exhaust manifold cooling the intake charge

72 was the first year for the snorkel air cleaner with the heat riser port.
