Single IDF center mount with no pre-heat, the current manifold has the tubes that run under the manifold.
I was getting ready to do the pre-heat as described in another post in from # 2 and out to the collector. Others have stated to stay away from this type of manifold and use a manifold where the heat goes near the carb. My question is does it really make that big of a differance as these manifolds are not cheap.
Thanks

As I mentioned a few months ago the old Germans had a 2" hose comming down from the breather to under the push rod tubs.

As I had mention some time ago I don't have a place to insert a 2 inch tube on my air cleaner, I'm using a weber air cleaner. Unless perhaps I'm not following. Thanks so much.

Can you make a tube like the one pictured and braise it on your manifold?
