I’ve seen that video, but I didn’t think about it. It’s based on a more modern vehicle, where the fuel system is computerized and there’s already some ducting to pull air from farther away from the engine. With my open element it’s going from around the top of the engine through a carb, and the cold air option would be pulling air from outside the engine bay – down to around 0F in the winter. I’m guessing the results would be a little better than theirs in this case.
No sensors, it’s in a 77 heavy half.
I’m not dead-set on changing the intake, just getting an idea of the options.
Edited – it was a while ago that I watched the video, rewatched it.
Ah, ok. It was getting pumped through the cooling system as well as going through some of the cylinders. Intake manifold had it in the coolant passages. Thanks.

As INSIDE of them?[/quote]Yeah, inside, engine had some minor problems…
Never ran for long after the oil started leaking everywhere, only ran in crawler gear long enough to get on a trailer, and no cat in the exhaust, so maybe that’ll help me some.
I’ll get rid of the radiator and heater and try the soap/kerosene/cleaner (whichever seems to work best) on the exhaust and intake. If that doesn’t work I can try the machine shop. Thanks everyone.

Hey, new here too, but welcome.
Have to agree on that last part – as long as it doesn’t have to look pretty I’ll try fixing it…
