I've bought a 12V electric blanket and have removed the heating wire running through it....

The grip heater idea would make it a contained package. Still a little warm up time. Are you trying for warm feet or start up and ride off right away? In cold weather I usually start the bike and let it idle while putting on my helmet and gloves. That is a minute or so.

I need lots of heat... It was below freezing this morning... Edit: It will be contained as a unit, embedded within the manifold itself. Nothing visible or accessible aside from a electrical connection point (automotive grade) such as you would see on any sensor.

Though I am running the Type-3 manifold on it right now, I do not like the set-up. I'm not complaining, I'm moving to something I think will be better.

This piece mounts to the bottom of, and through the intake directly beneath the carburetor/throttle body. Appears to be about the right size for a Type-3 manifold, but I haven't pursued one to find out. I'm going PVC. Edit: Once engine gets to NOT, it shuts off... It's dependant on the CTS..

Where would it go? If memory serves right there isn't any where to mount that to the manifold. My jeep uses the F-head 134 ci 4 cylinder. Carb is mounted directly to the head on that one. My old pickup was a '51 and had the same engine. My wagon was a 51 that some previous owner mounted a 283 in with the jeep tranny and rear end. Real fast up to 50 or so, but that was about the top end in that one. My first one was a 47 cj2a with a flat head four.. Never had one with the 258 in it so not familiar with the intakes and pre-heating on them.

Here you go. Most 2nd generation 258's came with them. I've never heard of one going bad or becoming faulty, except for the occasional vacuum leak at the O-ring. Should be a inexpensive junker find, be it a yard or a backyard. I have not searched for one. Edit: Chrysler/Jeep P/N J3242601 "Early Fuel EV or Evaporation" '83-'86 - no longer available. Part of Chryslers attempt at maintaining exhaust emissions compliance. Sidenote: The recommended Weber replacement (with adapter) would've been the 32/36 @ 300 CFM or the 38/38 @ 390 CFM. Holley 2300 @ 350 CFM also. The factory Carter BBD's were prone to clogging and electrical servo failure.

recomended replacement for my carter is a solex one barrel. Don't remember the number, but I can get one for something like 90 to 120 depending on which reputable dealer you use. Reputable IS open to interpretation. 67 degrees here. Actually good mechanicing weather now.

I am using a 30 tict- 1 round bowl VW carb.on the kit that I sell. I going with heat tape they put on water lines to keep from frezing 110/115 volt,going to wrap the water lines on top of engine. As you can tell by looking at my web site ldwingnut.com ,I have plenty of room.

So, is it still snowing? http://www.appletreeauto.com/carburetors-c-347.html the round one is $156, it says here. You have a different/better source? And one of those on each side would probably be a good dual outfit. Looks tall, though, like the solex for '60 Willys CJ5s

Stopped snowing.. but ...C O L D... out there. Why not just get a couple of used ones and rebuild them? $20-$30 each via Samba and kits are cheap... You're going with duals?

Might try that with my junkyard wing, along with some solid struts on the back in place of the broken rear shocks and springs. Build some kinda spring setup under the seat.

LD, Not trying to sound smart, but I'm curious!! Why the 110 tape?? Also Guys, on your electrical heat set ups for heating, will there be very much pull to heat from the battery? I do like the hand grip idea, variable heat and the 12v blanket idea!! CapMid, will that have a rheostat on it also?? And for the snow  , will get ours soon enough !!! This morning I was sitting on a cold aluminum wet bleacher at my Grandsons football game 39', so dang foggy you could hardly see the field!! During Half time, I went to the truck and warmed my feet up!! Could have used a heat blanket then  !!!  Bob (Man I love Spellcheck)

I've got winter riding weather and you have The Indie 500 and the Brickyard 500. Fair trade I think.

I have been out to Phoenix International Raceway twice for Nascar races. Don't really care for crowds that much, and there is absolutely NO padding on those seats. They really limit what you can bring in, so you are stuck with little cushions that will fit into see-through plastic packs, plus maybe two bottles of water. Any thing else you have to buy. Only good thing is our seats were at the west end under that big metal awning that the spotters stand on, so we had shade most of the day. Would not have been able to stay otherwise. A hundred and such in the shade with no shade is not an experience I pay to endure.
