Subject: Pietenpol-List: Carb iceAt the Model A forum at Brodhead we learned that the model A engine,even in the car would ice up while driving across the equator in August.That is why the intake manifold was bolted directly to the hot exhaustmanifold. It looks to me that the theory is that heat will creep downthe manifold, threw the carb bolts then heating up the cast iron carbkeeping it free of ice. There was another picture in the old newsletterwhere a couple of guys made a sheet alum. shroud to cover the verticaltube of the intake. They said that it eliminated their carb ice problem,________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 00:34:59 -0700 (PDT)
