Picture Request - Spark plug heat shield
All,
I am looking for a very detailed picture of the left front spark plug heat shield installed on a stock ramhorn exhaust manifold with the ignition shield also installed.
If you have a picture of any of the other 3 shields, I'd be very glad to see that as well.
I have a mediocre-looking heat shield and want to know if it is worth replacing if it can be seen with the ignition shielding installed.

Hi Pete,
I can't be much help....starting in 71 (I believe) there was no longer an ignition shield on either of the front pairs of spark plugs.
So all I can show is the heat shield in place.
My recollection is that the ignition shield really hides the heat shield when properly installed. The 2 rear ignition shields certainly hide the rear heat shields.
I'm sure some one else will have a pic of the front shield!
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan, I saw the top picture from an older thread. I did not know that they did not use the ignition shield in '71.
I notice that the tabs on your french locks are not folded over?
Great pictures though. Your level of detail is very appreciated.

Hi Pete,
You need to start a new thread without my name on it so you'll get some more looks..... and a picture.
On my engine only one tab was bent for each bolt. I know it looks like none are bent but one for each bolt is.

Alan
