Carb Heat Soak

Interesting.

My car was a So Cal car, no issues there then I brought it to FC and I figured I should lean it a bit at 5000 ft.

It ran like crap, ended up with a lean misfire. Put the stock jets back in and no issues here at elevation.

I don't run any spacers between carb and cast iron intake, the crossover is intact but the manifold valve is not functional so it is open to flow out vs crossover.

I have not had any trouble starting or restarting my car here. I even drove it when it was -10 late last year. Ran like a champ. Restarted fine.


When it's in the high 90s starts and restarts fine as well. I have the OEM called for thermostat, standard not high flow, and the rad is a HO / AC but the standard cooling rad worked the same.

I don't pay too much attention to the temp, as long as it's between normal and not too high I'm good.


I did switch to alcohol free gas after battling a stall issue on hot days with a hot engine. But not starting or restarting related. I Have not had the issue again.
