captden29 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I removed the int/exh manifold from my 54 Windsor spitfire. came off easy enough. the bottom of the exh manifold has what the manual calls a shield. what does it shield? the nut holding mine on is rusted and I stopped trying to get it off. I am trying to separate the manifolds to get the heat riser free and working again. my exhaust manifold gaskets were breaking up which is why I did this in the first place. there were 4 gaskets under the carb. 2 are still good. that should be enough. not sure if I need new ones. capt den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 this at the front half of the manifolds below the exhaust? there is usually a heat shield for the fuel pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) It's a small rectangular heat storage can that is part of the thermostatic choke system on the carter carb. Sends heat to the Climatic choke spring to un wind it. Edited April 7, 2019 by Dodgeb4ya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
