Cannot locate a heat shield
« on: May 03, 2012, 09:56:27 PM »
Does anyone know of a supplier for the heat shield that is used in the 1975 pontiac V8 intake(496140). It forms a warming pocket just under the primaries of the carb. It is fed with hot air from the choke tubes.

Thanks for any help in advance.

We ship to Canada daily.  Couldn't find a steel plate in the shop yesterday, I'll look again this morning a little harder, may have one out there someplace....Cliff

Looking forward to hearing from you. Just so I know that I described it properly, the one I am talking about has the primary openings extending down into the intake about 1/2 inch?

Thanks
Kevin

If you are able to locate one, what do you usually charge for them, and who do you ship with?

I have a heat shield ....not sure if it's the one you need. I can email you a picture and you can decide.
