Do you suggest the cookie sheet to keep the fuel cloud contained? Because I have EFI, not Weber carbs, so I shouldn't have the vapor cloud above the stacks correct?
I had a shop recomend foam, high dollar air filters for my 50mm PMO 3 barrel (high dollar HUGE Weber based carbs for big HP Porsches), and I only had small momentary fires until the engine fired (when hot) but yes, the foam filters smelled like gas after runs.quote:Originally posted by PanteraDoug:quote:Originally posted by mike the snake:
Well, sure, me too, all the time.
I meant to say, do you drive with your intake holes open?
Wait, let me rephrase that again.
Do you drive your pantera with IR intake velocity stacks with no screens or air cleaners?
Not regularly but I have. That often is necessary in the tuning process of the carbs.
On yours, you have no cover over them at all so I wouldn't advise it.
You would probably be fine with a GT40 type of "cookie sheet" over them?
As far as MY intake holes, I've learned to grit my teeth. It kind of filters out the bugs. The big ones at least.
You don't need to worry about reversion. It would have already caught fire with the other air cleaners if there was a reversion issue.
The cam timing in the Porsche dosen't cause blow back like an american v8 will. The 911s uses 46ida-3 carbs.
The cookie sheet is for the birds to leave their berries of offering to the god of fire without dropping them in the volcano.
