: I'm using the Offy #5041, 2X1 manifold and I
: notice that Dutra Dual outlet flanges dump
: out almost directly under the carbs. I'm
: thinking that this might actually provide
: some minimal amount of carb heat...or that
: the bigger, turbo version flanges, once
: heated up, might provide even more. It
: obviously couldn't be as efficient as the
: stock "heat stove" (which this
: manifold was designed to utilize)...but the
: new Duals look mighty slick and it doesn't
: get all that cold here in CA.
:
: Has anybody tried this intake manifold with the
: "no-heat" version of Dutra Duals
: and experienced cold weather drivability or
: cylinder wall "wash down"
: problems? Doc?

: Hi Red
:
: I used that manifold for two winters here in
: Washington state. I live close to the coast
: and in winter we get cold rain and in summer
: we get warm rain. I ran that intake manifold
: with clifford hedders with no heat going to
: the intake. The only thing I added was a
: choke to one of the carb's. This combo
: started very good and I got pretty good
: mileage. Later I used this manifold and made
: a plate for two Holley 2 barrels. This even
: started better(more fuel when you hit the
: gas peddal)
