Intake Questions
Hey everyone,
I removed the intake on my Edsel's 292 and have a few questions. I have an extra that I picked up from a junk yard a few years back. They both have their flaws but I can't decide which is better. Here are a few comparison photos: Old Junkyard Old Junkyard Now, here are some casting numbers. Only a slight variations in the two. Can someone explain the difference? Old Junkyard (Last Letter is "B") If anyone requests more pics, I will gladly oblige. And if anyone can recommend what to do to get these cleaned up and properly assessed (Like what shop to take them to / what to have done to them) I'm all ears. |

Re: Intake Questions
What you have is not worth the expense of having them blasted,buy this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOT-ROD-FORD...a00edb&vxp=mtr The amount of corrosion in the ones you have would make them suitable for boat anchors.The smaller primaries in the 4BBL should up your MPG for cruising.

Re: Intake Questions
If you want to keep your two barrel carb (keep it original??) I would use the "Old" manifold, simply because it appears to have less corrosion.

Re: Intake Questions
Thanks for the input guys. Is there any special service I should have done to it to get it clean?

Re: Intake Questions
I have done different things to the Y block manifold.
Have taped off all ports and sandblasted the outer surfaces. Also chemically dipped the complete bare assembly. Run compressed air to blow out all passages. Chase all threads, prime, paint, etc. and she will look like a million bucks. Both ways are OK, the sandblast method takes longer though. Make sure you replace the choke tube in any case. Good luck. |

Re: Intake Questions
Is that rust through holes that I see?
Take a body pick hammer and tap all around. Loosen all of the scale to determine wall thickness that is remaining... You may get lucky and and be able to get by with a skim coat of silicone on the new gaskets to make it leakproof. |

Re: Intake Questions
Agreed! Throw that away. You should be able to pickup a good one for $20. Maybe I still have an extra, having sent more than a dozen to China over the last few years.
