Re: Aluminum vs. cast iron

I have a Edelbrock Torker II which is a single plane manifold on my with 
a similar air cleaner.  Same results - wing nut tore through the 
insulation pad.  Took off the insulation pad.

Hmmm - I'm about to add a 1/4" Spacer to the motor mounts to get some 
cross link clearance at the oil pan.  Better check the clearance before 
I close the hood.
