Steve, Blocking off the exhaust crossover passage will cause cold driveability problems. I also don't understand how this will solve an overheating problem. There are lots of other places more likely to cause overheating than the exhaust crossover passage. Matt On 8/12/2008 10:41 PM, Steve spouted this sage advice: > Hello Fellow AMC-ers: > > Due to overheating issues (to eliminate the overheating problem, I've decided that this is the best course of action and have considered other courses of action) I want to R and R the original intake manifold off of a '68 390 AMX, block off the exhaust crossover passages, and install an electric choke on the original Carter AFB. Any suggestions on the "R and R and block off" parts of the procedure? I've used a Permatex product to seal off the thermostat housing (with gasket, of course) and was wondering if I ought to use a similar product for the intake gasket. > > Thanks, > > Steve > '68 AMX > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: http://splatter.wps.com/pipermail/amc-list/attachments/20080812/f5447e15/attachment.htm > _______________________________________________ > Amc-list mailing list > Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx > http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list > > > -- mhaas@xxxxxxx Cincinnati, OH http://www.mattsoldcars.com 1967 Rambler American wagon 1968 Rambler American sedan ================================================================= According to a February 2003 survey of Internet holdouts released by UCLA's Center for Communication Policy, people cite not having a computer as the No. 1 reason they won't go online. _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
