I have 6 inch exhaust stacks on my C-85-12. I was wondering how tofabricate a heat exchanger for some heat for my carb. Anybody got anysuggestions. 6 inches of exhaust stack isn't a lot to work with. jas________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List:carb heatPieters, I just built my exhaust stacks and am wondering about carb heat. Back in the 60s I built a Cassutt and it just had "J" stacks so I got my carb heat with a 2 inch tube under the cylinder barrels. It had a C 90 and I remember I had a tach drop of 50 or more and never had any problem. Now that I am "alittle' older I worry a little more. Anybody have any comments. PS I think Corky is headed for Columbia with that fuel load. If he ask about speed mods. and armor plate We will know.________________________________________________________________________________
