FI Plenums

Re: FI Plenums

"We" sawed the dog house the middle Clem? Just who around here did that? Maybe Grady Davis did but none of us did that in the old days. We just boycotted the 57 to 62 FI's and ran midyear FI's as I recall. That's what Timmy did anyhow. JD

John,
Mine was done by Bill Thomas back in 1961 and Hayden Proffit ("Mr. 409") verified that it was a Thomas modified plenum back in the 80s (he and Thomas worked together).

Tom, I see your workbench has Aero Kroil. Hard to believe how good that penetraing oil is. Problem is I didn't start using it till this past year. Happy New Year, John

John,
The bottom two pictures are not mine. I saved those only because they were good examples of welded plenums.
I don't remember whose FI units those were.

i sawed several apart at westinghouse research on the big do-alls they had there. after porting the welding lab put them back together. bolted them to the adapter plate as a fixture. they were not for me as i never could afford a FI corvette,it put me over my,mrs clems budget. i did it for guys who were drag racing FI back then who ran different cams etc. it was not legal in SCCA.
