Not Ranked
Jerry, I havent tried anything yet. I don't know whats under the manifold but I'll check with the builder. I'm not aware of a heat riser either.
I talked to Troy at Modern Auto this AM and he recommended a wood spacer in lieu of the phenolic because it insulates beter and doesn't warp. It does need to be replaced every few years though. I need to add an insulator to the fuel log as it's bolted directly to the manifold. I have plenty of insulating header wrap and I may try wraping the fuel lines too. I recall that when these beasts were raced in the 60s it was common to see a block of 2x4 keeping the back of the hood open to let air escape.
