Post subject: | Exhaust question |
In the third "runner" of the exhaust is a "rod" or something, can I take it away without leaks. Does anybody know what function it has?

That's for the carburetor anti-ice system. It's not a rod, but a hollow sleeve. Steel lines would've been pushed into this sleeve from top and from bottom. The one from the top would've been insulated with woven silica/asbestos sleeving and would've connected to a threaded fitting on the passenger side of the carburetor base. The one from the bottom would've been uninsulated, and connected to a rubber hose which would've connected to a nipple on the underside of the air cleaner baseplate. This was optional equipment on Canadian-made \6 cars from 1960 through 1969, and was present on most of those cars. It was standard equipment on all 1969 US-market \6 cars. It seems quite logical to assume that cars destined for the Nordic countries would have the system, even if they were built in the US! You can't remove the sleeve without causing very large exhaust leaks. It doesn't really get in the way. |

Where was this info when I was struggling with carb icing? Is there a specific port on the carb for this line to route to or is it a specific carb for the system? Sorry for the hi-jack, it seemed relevant. |

Then really it would be no big deal to tap and plug the 2holes, correct? Only warm weather driver.[/i] |

(very tardy) Specific carbs for use with this system -- can't adapt it to a carb not originally equipped for it. Fine to leave the manifold heat pipe unused -- no benefit from tapping or plugging. On the other hand, if you have the anti-ice system (including carb) and you don't want/need it, it's fine to just run a hose directly from the air cleaner fitting to the carb fitting. |
