Hi 🙋‍♂️ guys, does anyone how to pipe up the inlet manifold?
Does anyone know how to diagram

Don’t bother. It ain’t needed.

The exact path will differ depending on other plumbing. One side will be fed off the cylinder head, the other will feed in to the bottom hose. This can be in series or parallel with the heater. In Series is usually easiest if there wasn't a heated manifold originally, just cut the heater hose and reattach the ends to each other via the manifold (length permitting!). Note that you could have different sizes to match up, either could be 1/2 or 5/8 of an inch.

Thanks for the comment? I was thinking the same my previous manifold did not require if why bother.

Tanks again

Hi Ethel,

Thank you for taking time to comment. In series makes sense but not sure the benefits of piping the manifold up as previously I did not have it connected. Plus it may look neat with out the mass of pipes?

Your previous manifold was heated by the exhaust.

Heated manifolds provide a few advantages, especially in cold weather. No fuel condensation on the walls, and the most important: a constant inlet charge temperature. Whether you're idling in traffic or driving on the freeway, inlet manifold will always be 88°.

Thanks again it matter of making it look tidy as you mentioned length permitting.
