hey snegrah...I live in SF as well....good to know there's a fellow inliner in the area.

I went the route of installing the water heated manifold stuff with a stock intake...Fentons and Holley/Webber.....on a '59 235

I was kind of sceptical of weather I needed it or not..but since I read the tech article here and a bunch of folks here swore i needed it I went ahead and installed it...against a mechanic friends advice. I haven't been able to get the throttle linkage drivable so i haven't tested it much...but I'd be curious to know what you find out.

From the driving I have done I have not been very pleased with the Holley/Webber setup and performance. I haven't tried it without heat so I don't know if that's the problem, but I will as soon as I get the @#@@##@$# throttle figured out.

Let me know what you find though.
