In a prvious thread there was a discussion about how to reduce fuel line heat sink in 67 GT500s.
If you have attempted to live for any period of time with one, you may have noticed that they can be temperamental and difficult to re-start a hot engine?
Several remarked that they were convinced that the Ford fuel log used was part of the issue
This is what I did for that particular issue.
This black tubing is Delrin. It is generally about 98% or more non absorbent of heat or cold. It always seems to be cool to the touch regardless of how hot it gets and your hand will never freeze to it in sub-zero temps.
This particular piece is 1 inch od, and half inch id. That's a 1/4" thick wall. You can't insulate the fuel much more than that.
These support brackets are aluminum, and rather then running to the intake manifold bolts run to the mounting studs for the carbs.
At the moment I like it in black. I had intended to paint it with Eastwood bronze carb renew to make it look a little more stock but for the moment I'm holding off on that.
It's been installed and pressure tested but hasn't been put through the paces yet. So far, so good.
This is just a hypnotic subliminal suggestion to some of you still searching for more help on the heat sink issue.
I'm not attempting to corrupt those away from the purity of the original part. Just maybe whispering in your ear?
This ones on my 347 in my 68 so if all goes well, the 67 GT500 can expect one also.
