Title: Manifold Hot Box Post by: satch56 on February 23, 2016, 09:40:36 PM Has anyone bothered to reinstate the exhaust baffle? Is there a source for the springs?

I have a pair of s/h springs which could be used and a NOS main spring. If you are interested I will sell the whole lot for $20 Ken Title: Re: Manifold Hot Box Post by: satch56 on February 24, 2016, 09:47:23 PM Hi Ken that would be great thank you, I was surprised that the baffle still worked after a little persuasion. Let me know how I could grab them.

Thats another story. Would any one (Ken!!) have a picture often correct orientation of the springs. Unfortunately the retainer spring broken but have Jerry built another but need to get the ankle correct. Thank you.

Thank you for the diagram. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160324/9e61e77f09f3e04ce28f6b4cb51e4a7a.jpg)

Ken Title: Re: Manifold Hot Box Post by: satch56 on March 25, 2016, 07:45:58 AM Looks like I need a new manual mine is FE Series manual must be different has no FC section(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160324/df740e14109e5130feae0a7688932db0.jpg)
Wayne Title: Re: Manifold Hot Box Post by: mcl1959 on March 25, 2016, 10:38:29 PM That's the original GMH FE manual, when the FC was released GM released a yellow FC supplement that was about 5mm thick. Then some time later they released a maroon covered manual which had both FE and FC in the one book.
The FC supplement is rarer to find, but the maroon book is quite common. I have a couple of copies if you are interested. Ken |
