" From: tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> " " re: the intake heating tube " " [] " " As far as warm-up goes, OK I'm in Los ANgeles but I can tell you this: " under 1 mile of street driving (30 mph) and I can detect warmth out of " the heater. It's fully warmed up (190F) in 5 minutes (a mile or two). " The 232-powered Classic, takes 5 minutes just to feel any heat at all, " and twice that to fully warm up. " " It may be that the 195.6OHV is simply a "bad design" and all that " waste heat collects in the head where the heater gets it, and the 232, " it goes into turning the crank. But it's nicer to drive on a chilly " morning :-) my '66 american 199 heated up like your 196, but my '68 199 warms up like your classic. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
