Re: Aerovee one EGT high

I had considered that Brock but not sure how I would implement it given I don't have a flange mount. For now I'm going to remove my fresh air induction and verify the issue goes away. Then I'm going to add a second input to make it symmetrical. I'll fabricate a T or Y pipe to split the flow.

Re: Temperature Balancing by Turning/Twisting the Carb

DO NOT buy spark plugs on Amazon though. Too much counterfeit crap out there!

Re: Exhaust Manifold Flange Gap

I'd probably cut it, bolt it up, tack weld it, then pull it off for the final weld. You are going to need new exhaust wrap!
