I have really been going over my carbs, building spacers and cleaning up 
the Weiand manifold. I have noted that the manifold is a bit sloppy when 
it came to production. The rear carb studs are off a tad and make the 
spacer and carb mounting a teeny bit hard. There was some casting slag 
in one runner that I hadn't seen before and below the carb ports the 
center support wasn't centered exactly so there was a small protrusion 
on several ports that could back up air flow some. I know overdoing this 
stuff can cause problems but these were obvious imperfections so I very 
gently and minimally smoothed down just that portion that was wrong. I 
also have bead blasted and clear coated the top. J B Welded the heat 
crossovers and painted the underside of the manifold with the 1200deg 
ceramic engine paint. I feel that may also help prevent the heat to the 
carb. I'm anxious to get it back together and hit the track !!!!
