Restarting a carbureted vehicle when the engine is hot can be difficult with todays gasoline. A short hot soak can mean long cranking times and a rough running engine when it finally starts. Keeping the carburetor and intake manifold as cool as possible can help reduce this problem. Plugging off the exhaust crossover passage in the engine block can significantly lower the intake manifold and carburetor temperature. Installing the two cup plugs that are described in the video is an easy and inexpensive way of reducing the hot restart issues that many of us experience today.
The 3/4" cup plug used in the video is a Dorman Part Number 55-012 and can be purchased at most auto parts stores that sell Dorman brand parts.
If you're running a Flathead Ford V8 and are experiencing hot restart issues, this could help. Good luck!
