I picked up a used CH4B intake this week, and I was checking it out yesterday. On the passenger side of the intake in the heat-riser area there is a small hole down between the runners, maybe 1/8" in diameter. Is this open to anything on the inside, i.e. need plugged to prevent a vacuum leak?
The one I have here is a little different than the one pictured, but the yellow arrow shows the area I am asking about. Mine does NOT have the flat machined pad there with the two holes in it, just the runner for the heat passage and the small hole is there.
Thanks, Darren

I'm running that intake on my 59 Coronet; it has the flat pad like the one in your picture. On that version, at least, the hole doesn't go anywhere and doesn't need to be plugged.

its for heat to a holley intergal choke. back then the holley 3310 was the common universal performance carb and it had a choke that needed a heat source.
don't forget to mill down the center plentum divider about 1/4" helps air flow thru out the intake

you like them? The intake that is?
I like it! The CH4B makes decent power and it's low enough to work with the factory Air Grabber set-up...
thats interesting , did you have to do anything to the air cleaner height ? member NASBackyard put one on the 440 in his 69 RR on my recomendation and the air cleaner hit his hood ???

It will work fine w/ a factory air cleaner. I ran one w/ a 1/2 spacer in a 67 GTX and it worked fine.
did you have a 69 440 air grabber air cleaner assembly on your 67 gtx ?

donkey...John, not but it's a flat hood, so I'd think it'd fit under a 69 RR
donkey ...
A stock dual snorkel air cleaner that is not used with an AIR GRABBER setup doesn't sit as high as an air grabber air cleaner , so ASSuMEing its going clear the hood is not really a good idea , as I stated I ASSuMEd it would clear and a member now has a dent in his hood because of it .
