what are these nipples for ??

[Princess Valiant]

If this is for a daily driver hook them up like A for better driveability if not I would not hook them up.

well I think I will hook up the heater hoses to it because for me reliability is more important ......and as many know, I drive these darts daily because I don't have a newer car so the old cars are my only transportation ....and even though this is my cousin's car ...I am putting it together and I will probably end up driving it more than him because he don't care what I do and he has a new car.

Rani if you want to learn what this "is," Google up stuff like aircraft carburetor heat, carburetor icing. This is known as the "refrigeration effect." Anytime you run a gas (air, in this case air and evaporated gasoline) from a high pressure, high velocity to a low pressure area, the temperature changes radically. Especially in wet (humid) weather this can be a problem. "Snorkel" carburetor air cleaner heat helps

I'm sure you've used air tools. You'll notice they get cool, not hot. This is because of the air blasting through them and dumping out the exhaust actually DOES drop in temperature.

wow, learn something new everyday ...I have noticed that air tools do get cold even in the summer ....never really thought about it though

I think you've got everyone's attention.

well, im surprised this question has not come up already because I think this a fairly common intake......I heard of a lot of guys in the slant six forum talking about cliffords.

 

[DaveBonds]

Use them... with a valve.

Shut the valve off in the summer. Have awesome atomization in the winter.

 

[Oklacarcollecto]

Or at least make sure the coolant went to the heater first, then through those.

That is the best statement.

 

[Princess Valiant]

so then which direction does the water go ...like I have in this illustration or opposite ???

 

[67Dart273]

This setup, by the way, is the way Ferd used to do it on V8s................

I think you've got everyone's attention. :icon_smi:

Man, you got that right......between this and the "I Love Toys" thread, I need to put some Vise-Grips on my tongue! Sorry, Rani.....we're all hard-wired to be pervy on command!

Anyway, my opinion is......you'd be sorry if you don't hook up some heater hoses to that manifold. In the mornings, the atomized fuel will "fall out" and puddle and stick to the cold metal and it'll drive like the most cold-blooded beast you ever saw (even with a choke) and whoever is driving will be cursing, stalling it and it'll be backfiring out the carb. Trust me.....I've already lived it, and caught my hood insulation on fire from the carb backfires. LOL

 

[67Dart273]

Vise-Grips on my tongue! L

I think some of us can even make inuendo's out of THAT LOL

 

[Dart_Doctor]

damn rani you need to work on your titles altho your made every one look lmao . I would hook it up . In the winter time and un hook it in the summer time . THATs bout all the help i can be here . ..... Damn that title .

 

[Mrmopartech]

Rani,you have two options.
1) remove fittings and run it like,so that as some air will run throw the intake and cool it
2)install the heater hose so it goes in and out from the heater core throw the intake back to the motor,
either way will work,mrmopartech

 

[Mattax]

so then which direction does the water go ...like I have in this illustration or opposite ???

Neither and both.

The heater outlet is inboard as you illustrated.
It feeds into the water pump's inlet at an angle. Opposite from what you drew.

Easy way to figure this out if you're ever stuck is to think about how the thermostat works. First remember that the water gets hot on the engine side of the thermostat. Then the thermostat opens and lets the hot coolant flow through the top hose into the radiator. Knowing that, you'll always be able to remember that the coolant gets sucked from the bottom of the radiator into the water pump. When you look at the angle of the nipple on the water pump's inlet, you can see that's the direction of flow.

PS. You ought to get yourself some shop manuals considering how much you do yourself. Heaters are under 'accessories'. It's not critical which side gets fed, but its probably set up for the warmer coolant to enter the top. Some cars use a smaller return hose. Then it's obvious.

I notice that nearly everybody who says "plug em" lives in warmer climates. You might just find you can get by with this, and you might not. Up here I would not want to plug them.

Bingo...

Bingo, again.

 

[mopar jimmie]

Why would you want icy nipples ?

 

[Dartnut]

Make sure you use some good hose clamps on them nipples.
They shrink a lot when you apply heat to them, and expand and grow a lot when cold.

 

[TrailBeast]

If you route it like this, then your heater will work best, and then the intake gets warmed from the leftover heat.

That's what she said.....

A simple google search gives you a link to Clifford where you can find some information. If the information still isn't enough sign up for an account and contact their tech line.

Fitment: All Mopar 170/198/225 cid. Description: 08-1013 will allow you to bolt a Weber 38 DEGAS to your 6=8 Intake Manifold. 08-1014 will allow you to bolt a Holley or Edelbrock 4 brl carb to your 6=8 Intake Manifold. Our Ram Flow Manifold is a single plane, single carb design, making it Clifford's most versatile manifold. It has an open plenum, allowing the user to mate a 2 barrel, 4 barrel or fuel injection system to the manifold with the addition of an adapter plate. This manifold is made of cast aluminum and is a competition style for performance. The true beauty of this manifold is that it works exceptionally well on the street, thanks to our water heated passage along the bottom of the manifold. No matter where in the world the user is located, the water heated passage is a must for daily street use. By using a water/coolant mix to heat the manifold, we can atomize the fuel without boiling it, creating a consistent running engine. This manifold requires a minimum of 390 cfm, and will not bolt onto your engine with the factory cast iron exhaust manifolds. It has oversized runners and water jacket cast into the bottom of the intake for even fuel distribution or atomization. With a Holley 390 or Edebrock 500 carb, 40 to 45% power gains are expected. With a Weber 38 DEGAS (2) brl carb, 60 to 70% power gains are expected.

I hope Rani reads this!!!!

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

Damn I thought this thread was going to be about milkers.

 

[krazykuda]

Great info Bill, you bloodhound...

 

[Oklacarcollecto]

Great info Bill, you bloodhound...

Lol, in less than 30 seconds with a Google search. :burnout:
If a person uses it, Google is an amazing tool with all the links that it brings up.

 

[Princess Valiant]

I hope Rani reads this!!!!

yea i tried to look it up myself before and i didnt find that.....that is some great info.......i just got this manifold with a ton of other parts in a box with no info.

Great info Bill, you bloodhound...

Xs2 great info

Damn I thought this thread was going to be about milkers

well it is a car site ....so i would think all you guys would be thinking car related.

problem is that i went to the clifford site before starting the thread and that didnt look like the same manifold i have but now i see there is a carb adaptor that makes it look different, so i assumed that was a different manifold and mine was not listed on the clifford site which made it a mystery to me.

either way, thanks Mr. Bill and all other replies....FABO rocks:headbang:

Now I know I have issues. I can't stop giggling over this thread title. Boys will be boys!

So, is the intake manifold you got going to work with your exhaust manifold?
Come on, explain what a ton of other parts is???? Pictures are good!!! LOL

he didnt send an intake manifold but sent a header which i think is a Clifford also but im not sure. my cousin disassembled this car years ago and he was going to restore it but then the project went cold and he never did anything with it after he got his career going .....so it has sat in a garage for yeeeears ....and now he told me to put it together and finally sent some money and parts to do it because he wants it for next spring/summer....he is getting married and wants this car to "in" the wedding......so i said "OK" lets do this.
