Hey guys. Well, now that I'm in Texas, the car is overheating. Well
actually, it's not _overheating_, but it's getting hot enough for me to get
vapor lock at a light. And these Austin lights can be 3 to 5 minutes long
(why is that?). On the 1500's the SU float bowls are just above the header.
Any thoughts on a good wrap for a header to keep the heat down? I know the
best way to wrap a header to prevent it from rotting away is to have it jet
coated. But these things are already installed, and I'm not Frank.
I have a heat shield, but that doesn't seem to work. Should I maybe add
some insulation to it? If so, what type?
I was thinking of adding a 12V computer fan with some black ductwork (ala
the heater ductwork) to help push fresh air into the engine compartment.
Tks,
Mike
