John-

 

I have sent many email blasts to IMOA members(over 880) trying to motivate them to use the forum and to date I have not got them interested. Any suggestions?

We tried having the forum open to the public to recruit new members and it did not work in the  past. By leaving the forum open to anyone it only brought the IMOA site/forum tons  of SPAM and sorry to say Porn

<div>1) Plastic-kote #224 engine paint is good.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>2) Dupli-color # DE1606 is ford dark blue which is a tweak dark.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>3) Contact Bill Hirsch Automotive 1-800-828-2061 in Newark , NJ for the exact stuff my make and year of engine.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Bill will tell you buy enough to do the whole engine, 3 cans??,

plus one extra for touch ups because ALL paint varies in color slightly

from one batch to another as it is mixed so the next time it my be a

tweak lighter or darker in the next batch that is mixed up…Just like

car exterior paints. Even with computer mixing…..Nothing is perfect

anymore.</div>

<div> One of our members Grumpy told me to respons with the following:</div>

<div>i have seen this on big cubic inch displacement Pontiac motor of

the mid to late ’60 and on Ford Y-blocks, also. It has to be caused, as

they are stating correctly, by the exhaust feed through the head to the

middle runners of both sides of the intake manifold to act as a heater

for the carburetor on cold mornings to prevent carburetor bore icing

up. These 2 ports could be total blocked, if someone wants to stop the

discoloration of those 2 runners of the intake manifold to keep it

looking “pretty” after a restoration, just by putting some small thin

(.020″) stainless steel plated at the area of the head to intake

manifold sealing surfaces and then put the new intake manifold gaskets

on top of them to keep them in place. OK, but keep in mind that on an

early Spring morning the carb. bore could ice up and not fuel or gas

would flow into the intake because there was no heat there anymore to

prevent that from happening and the engine could keep dying out

after initial start up plus I believe the choke tube is into one of

those two intake runners so if no heat is there, the choke would never

heat up and the result would be the choke staying on forever causing

all kinds of drive-ability complaints and high fuel consumption. </div>

<div> </div>

<div>Just send this to them or do a cut and paste of info….Understand?</div>
