Re: [Amc-list] Water line in six cyl. intake

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

I think it's more left handed lug-nut silliness. I've never noticed a 
difference in cold weather driveability between my 67 with it and my 68 
without. When I put an Ignitor in the 68, that did make a difference in 
how it acted cold. Properly tuned, it is almost as good cold as a fuel 
injected car and it doesn't even have a heat riser valve anymore.
