Default Re: Intake manifold question

No the purpose is to route exhaust gases to the bottom of the carb for a better cold start operation. Many people block them off if they want to eliminate heat at the manifold for performance operation but your cold start warm up will suffer in the winter time. To work properly you need a heat riser valve on one exhaust manifold like this one ;;

BTW, you dont happen to have a spare dent/rust free GMC oil pan do you?
