Header - Fuel and Brake line clearance
I've built a 1937 Dodge pickup on an '89 S10 frame and there are a couple of possible header heat issues with the fuel line and a brake line. It has a SBC with block hugger headers, the headers have been wrapped.
A section of the fuel and right front brake lines come within 2" of the headers. I can make some heat shields and wrap the lines with some header wrap. Would this be adequate to avoid heat issues?
The fuel line will be difficult to relocate, not much room up front and it feeds a stock pump. The brake line can be moved but will require replacing the tubing.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
