Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket

I built a heat plate last night for my offy intake, the truck ran pretty good but the Carb would get colder as the truck got hotter causing a bad stumble almost as if it was 20 degrees out! As the fuel vaporises it has a cooling effect and from what I have heard, carbs can actually freeze in the middle of summer under certain conditions! Since I put headers on there was no more carb heat provision, and thats what caused the problem. Anyway it worked great! No more stumble, and the throttle response is great. I ran the lines kind of incognit so its tough to get a good picture. Below is a picture of the plate before it was finished. 2 quarter inch elbows, a new pipe tap, and some 3/8 line, two T's and a few hose clamps and the truck runs great. I used the old gasket as a template.
