I agree 100% that the removal of the insulation from under the intake
manifold causes starting issues! I removed this unsightly insulation from
my 1966 Imperial convertible's 440 and the problems began. Not just starting
issues. The car would die after it reached a certain operating temperature and
wouldn't restart until it cooled down. I replaced the insulation (new, wrapped
in foil) and the problems ceased.

Subject: Re: IML: the hot starting
problem,,,,,,again!!!!
I wonder if the hot starting problem occurs after the
odd
factory installed insulation is removed from the
intake manifold
area. The lack of this added
installation would allow the gas in the
carb area to
overheat(?) Just a theory. Any
thoughts?
