Paul,
Are you talking of the DGV "progressive 2BBL" setup that bolts to a
seriec IV solex
inlet, or the twin 2BBL DCOE webers?
As far as the coolant lines go, removing them alltogether will effect
the quality of warmup, but will result in more power due to a higher
density air charge.
My old SII setup "Twin Zenith 36WIP" had a blanking plug in the coolant
passage under the inlet manifold, and had a single hose coming from the
water pump instead of two.
This allowed normal function of the heater, without having to block off
one of the two
heater hoses.

Greetings!
I'm in the midst of a Stromberg to Weber conversion for my '67 with a
1725
cc engine. For any of you who have successfully completed this
conversion I
have a couple of questions:
1) Is it necessary to attach the coolant lines to the manifold as in the
original setup for the 1600 engine?
2) If so, is it best to run a tee off the block to feed both the
manifold
and the heater from separate lines or is it better to run through the
heater
core full time?
3) What purpose did the heated manifold serve?
4) Will it really make any difference for my '67 which is only run in
summers?
Thanks for any help/advice/suggestions.
Paul '67 V
