I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I am restoring a 72 Trans am. I bought the car with the wrong engine, so I have had to find all of the original parts. I have the correct heads, intake, carb and air cleaner. The block is a 71. My question is the intake on the car is a aluminum 73 super duty intake. I recently purchased the correct 72 HO intake. The problem I am having is that the intake is not warming up fast enough. The gas is too lean and idles rough and wants too stall for the first 10 minutes. It there suppose to be some type of shielding or heat collection tray aroung the heat riser to warm the intake faster. If so does anyone know where I can get one. Also is the carb. choke coil special to this car that it would keep the carb rich awhile longer. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
