Anyone have a photo of 69 GT350 choke tubes at exhaust manifold?
The pic is from #1256 a 34K mile unrestored car.
If you need a different angle or view let me know.

A Interesting unrelated observation is that I don't see any lift hooks .That is more typical on a 69/70 GT350 from others I have seen . Even though there were factory directions to remove them I believe extra effort was given to the Shelby for removal because they were unsightly and would detract from the "dressup" Shelby items on the engine.
Thank you, that is helpful
Im trying to rehab the choke tubes and was wondering what direction the hole in the bottom steel plug faces?
Towards firewall, towards apron or towards front of car?

Believe its towards the engine side. Provides more side clearance and less chance of hanging up on something or getting in the way
Ok crystal clear now
Thanks
Hopefully this helps someone else...

Have any of you gotten a set of the reproduction choke tubes and put them on, start the car and the white woven insulation melted and dripped goo on the exhaust manifold? I have, any recommendations for the correct insulation?
Thanks

Original asbestos material was outlawed many years ago the fiberglass material used now doesn't look the same and is more prone to melting.
