Re: Easy weber mixture tool
Posted: Mon Oct 14, 2013 10:13 amEd. What sort of temperature difference between the runners are you considering reasonable/acceptable?

Is "runner" Canadian for what USA people call "headers" and UK people call "Exhaust Manifold" ?[/quote]
And Australians call "extractors"

Posted: Mon Oct 14, 2013 10:26 pmEd,
Thanks for the approximate target temp. info: at about what distance from the head/manifold flange do you measure, I tried this before some time ago and found the temp. drop vs dist. significant, rather logically as Spok would say. Is about two inches correct, before one gets into additional metal affecting heat dissipation and since runers join at diff. places need to not get too close to that). If too close to the head does the head cooling affect it? I have stainless headers, not stock cast ones.

Note,
Just reread, you said "around the bend... "
