Carb heat sheilds
I have seen a couple of 70s model chevelles with big blocks and under the carb is a metal plate that goes between the carb and intake about 1/8 in thick,do these work well,due to very low hood clearance on my 67 chevelle I am think of going to one of these type if they are availiable.If they work well and where can I pick one of these up.They seem to be approx 1" larger than the base of the carb all the way around.

Re: Carb heat sheilds
I have an NOS one, it was my first purchase towards my restoration effort on my Deuce - unfortunately, it was a moot purchase since the Deuce's didn't come with them! I was using the magazine articles on Deuces as a guide, mistake #1! So, it sit's in the shop - maybe it will find it's way onto my '69 SS Nova, unless somebody else wants it more than I [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Carb heat sheilds
Bobby, they do work.. I have one on my 70 L78 Nova and without it I was vapor locking the carb due to the carb sitting so low to the intake on the 70 low rise intakes, L78/LS6 style..
The others are correct, I think you can still get them through GM.. I suggest a GM one. They look more correct and have the part numbers on them... Rich
