Scott, it is obvious that you know what you are talking about.
Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I know what you mean by
the coke forming from oil and heat, that cavity was packed with it. .
It is not only the looks, but also a screw, carb jet, etc. trap. I am
thinking of covering it with screen wire or maybe putting part of a
pot scrubber copper pad in it. Air and heat would go through that very
well I am thinking. Also easy to take out and clean..
Thanks ...................MO

Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person. That is, email your parts/car transactions and negotiations, as well as other personal messages, only to the intended recipient. Do not just press "reply" and send your email to everyone using the general '62-'65 Clubhouse public email address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine-tune the content signal to Mopar topic. Thanks!
