I have a 1843 single weber carb with an empi manifold, after market exhaust, the tubes that came with the manifold are missing and the headers don't have a place to instal the heat.
I've looked at a few post that take from the # 2 and exit to the collector. what parts do I need? can't seem to find the tubes that go from the intake to exhaust, do I just make my own? as far as the connection to the header do I purchase the block offs the drill a hole?
Thanks

run a 2" hose from your air cleaner to down under your push rod tubes.

Does that work very well? I have a weber style air cleaner without place to connect a hose

just kidding

i have looked around and cant seem to find the tubes either. unless you buy a whole manifold. but the tubes are useless without the ports on the exaust.

i like the idea about running oil through the manifold but not easy without full flow.

i would go with the idea of grip heaters the closer you can get them to the carb the better they will work.
