What!- Man! I can't believe this is the first time I'm seeing this.  If I
understand correctly,  you are talking about the part of the boot that forms a
ridge around the inner surface of the boot.  The part that keeps the boot from
sliding down too far on the manifold or up too far on the carbs.

This seems like an incredibly easy way to releave major restriction (forget
about turbulence) in the induction system.  I will check this out in the very
near future.

    Hi Ted, I am talking about the manifolds not the boots. The =
manifolds can have up to an 2-3 mm of cast material sticking out beyond =
the inner ridge of the boots...

    cheers, Terry
