Cannot see what that is...

Hy all,
I'm translating (to french) my set of plans I recently received. I have a problem with the the 8th paragraph page 19, of the Construction Manual, beginning by "to make a fiting....." to "...serious engine damage". I cannot exactly visualize what is described in this paragraph.
If anyone could send me photos of what is described her that would be great.
Thank you in advance.
Phil

This is on the plans for the Boeing B-52 or the SPAD XIII? Please clarify, so we can send the correct photos.

Given the thread drift here on HBA some of us pay little attention to the category of the post. That attitude probably leads to even more thread drift................
Some of us just can't be trained easily.

Phil, the paragraph in the Sonerai Builders Manual that you are questioning refers to the installation of a “balance” tube between the two intake manifold head castings on a Great Plains Aircraft Supply VW conversion engine. It describes the installation of a fitting in each manifold casting, and connecting them together with an aluminum tube. It is not necessary to do this. The engine will run very well without it. I had two different VW’s (a Monnett 1850 and a Great Plains 2180) in my IIL, and they ran very well without it. (I actually tried it for a while and did not notice any difference in performance, so I removed it.)

My ex would heartily agree with this.

Thank you Fred, I think I'll forget that for the moment.

Not a big problem
