Irv,
Thanks. When my brother's '76 didn't restart after a run and pause for state
inspection, I suspected something like this was the cause. After a short
time it started as well as ever, having changed nothing or found anything
wrong. Guess it had a chance to cool a bit. Hope one of the Listers comes up
with a pattern or source for a heat shield.
Regards,
Ed
