So I bought the offy manifold. I bought the langdons twin weber setup.
(posted pic here previous).
After reading a lot on this, I am going with manifold heat.
(don't tell Tom!)
Anyway, I didn't know till after I bought offy that there are two plugs underneath. I read a lot how most weld them, or, possibly JB weld them.
I blew thru one with my mouth, and yes, they leak. Good thing I read cause I would have hooked to water heat and flooded engine bay!
I bought Williiams headers which no longer come drilled for manifold heat.
I drilled and tapped myself. I chose Williams because there is no grinding with Offy intake like with Fentons.
So, here is my question...
Because there is a slight leak in these plugs, is that good so that as heat builds in the intake some is constantly forced out? And, is the amount that may be forced out going to smell in the cab?
Or, do I seal them up?
It seems sealing them up is like trying to blow air into a balloon that will not take any more? Am I wrong on this?
