<VV> Carburetor Heat System

[Daniel Monasterio]

    What ?...My Rampside didn't have them since I own her (21 years) and the 64 GB I'm restoring does have them but, as they look like air flow restrictors, never realized they are unnecesary on places like mine (40 F on Winter to 100 F on Summer), ... is it right ?

    Think that 61 & 64 shop manuals don't mention it but, I could missed that info.
