Re: Manifold heater question(s)
I too use a heater manifold [ different than yours] but without the shroud/duct. Heat is an issue. I made a heat shield to try and keep heat away from the distributor. Just went thru a no start problem, no problems found. Went thru 4 condensers that tested good. The new 'heat-proof, short-proof condensers' are not. Brand new they don't work. The 5th tested good and is working [for now].
That condenser has been now removed and thrown in the spare parts box that resides in the rumble seat. 2 were installed in its place, the 1st didn't work. All these except one were in unopened new plastic bags as delivered. It appears not all condensers are created equal even if they are supposedly short/heat proof. I suggest if they are ever ordered, order at least 2.
Over-all parts quality of about anything is not what it used to be.
