73 mustang baby blue with clevo 351
Hey guys,

Just curious what a couple of items may be on my exhaust manifolds. Both sides have what seems to just be a very thin plate around the spark plugs and appears to maybe be secured by the manifold bolts possibly.

The 2nd item is blue in the photo and is only on the passenger side and is possibly a heat shield maybe???

Cheers
Jase

Those are heat shields for the plugs and the heat stove for the air cleaner. The heat stove for the air cleaner, the blue part you see there, would originally been connected to the original air cleaner by a piece of tubing. It is there to help with cold starts, especially in colder climates, it would funnel hot air to the carburetor.

Thank you. So I assume I can remove it now it’s not needed?
