: On my "Screamin' Six" engine, the
: Offenhauser intake consistently shows #5
: running lean, the other cylinders are more
: or less even. #6 is always the richest.
:
: I've read in the past about epoxying in
: popsicle sticks to alter the flow in the
: manifold, and while at work this past week,
: built up a good supply of ice cream sticks
: from convenience stores. (I try not to work
: TOO hard!)
:
: Any particular kind of epoxy to use for
: continuous contact with gasoline? Can this
: be a permanent modification? Any ideas on
: how to best position the sticks (and what
: dimensions) to add fuel to #5? I have my own
: ideas but would like some confirmation
: before proceeding. Thanks.

: I would do some grinding inside the manifold
: first. Open-up the entry to runner #5. Grind
: the divider walls and the floor to direct
: mixture into that runner. I used a carbide
: burr on the end of a flex shaft and guided
: by a handle to get to those tuff to reach
: spots.
: Next try some staggered jetting in the carb.
: After that comes the epoxied-in dams. Epoxy
: dams are temporary only, once you get things
: working right, slot through the manifold
: wall and insert some alm. "wedges"
: then weld-up the seam for a permanent fix.
