    340 air gap manifold
    « on: July 07, 2009 - 12:51:49 PM »
    I bought an Edelbrock air gap mainifold for my car. IT does not cover the middle crossover holes in the head. Is there a gasket to cover these of what to I do to block it off? Thanks

    I generallcut a piec of stainless steel or old gasket & insert it into the hole
     Hang on the air gap doesn`t have a heat crossover passage does it ?

    :iagree: You don't need to cover the curved hole, just the square one.

     Can the gasket material eventually burn away?  :dunno:

    I've never seen it happen if the Intake doesn't have a heat crossover. Bolt it on and don't worry about it.
