« on: July 25, 2021, 02:12:05 PM »
Guys, anyone have a picture of the correct heat shround from exhaust manifold to carb?

I found the pic below off the web.  Not my car (unfortunately) but looks like a nice resto so hopefully the exhaust shroud is correct?

Some pics on the web look stamped like the one I posted.  The firebird central shroud looks more "fabricated" to me, with sharper corners, etc. but I can't say which is "right" or maybe both are  (more than one supplier to Pontiac, etc.)?

It will be interesting to see pics from 71455formula.

I haven't forgotten you. Been a busy week. You are looking for the one that goes over the exhaust manifolds?

I'm sorry. I cannot locate my heat shield. I never installed mine. It is the same one as a ram air 4. Gto's use the same one. If i recall the ra4/455HO heat shields had sharper corners than the standard ones and ra3 motors. I'll keep looking for it and get a good pic of one. Once again I am truly sorry for the delay in getting back with you on this. I'm in the beginning stages of moving at the end of the month.
