[old51sedan]

I understand the warmer weather in the south, it seems like my truck is on fast idle for such a long period of time, it also has an electric choke. I'm sure there are a few people that are running some form of heat to the bottom of their carb. I have a 51 sedan with a 235, has Fenton headers (they are drilled and tapped for heating) with just the original carb. I ran copper tubing from the headers to a plate on the bottom of the manifold right below the carb. With the manual choke I just start it and after it's ran a few minutes I can push the choke back in and it's good to go. I believe the heat is better than water simply because it's instant heat, you don't have to wait for hot water. Any thoughts appreciated.
