First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... So I've got a question regarding this last post. I used a thin piece of tin cut to size to block mine. It solved the problem of the high temperatures burning the paint on my intake manifold. But I don't understand the comment below about separating the center exhaust ports from each other. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I filled mine with molten aluminum. Used an old piston, melted it and poured it in. You use tin foil and sos pad to keep the aluminum from filling into the exhaust port. This can't be done on the car. A lot of guys will tell you to just use a block plate but this does nothing for separating the center exhuast ports from each other.
