Intake Manifold Operation
I have a question about how an intake manifold distributes the fuel/air mixture. The carb mixes fuel and air as they pass through it and dumps it into the intake. How evenly is that fuel/air mixture divided? Take a factory iron intake with a divider wall and upper and lower "planes". The front barrels of the carb are maybe a bit toward the forward end of the intake. Does that make one of the front driver side cylinders (6? 8?, I don't have an intake here in front of me...) tend to run richer when running on the primary circuit? Or does the demand from the engine pretty much even it all out?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
