Just as the title states....
When I was dressing my new motor I noticed these 'reverse' flaps. But have no idea what cable would hook up to the flapper arm, or where it would come from? Or what would activate it? Someone please enlighten me... |

Do you have a replacement part or system that you advise using, or do you feel that air flow to the cylinders just isn't that importnat? Either way I'd like to see your response. Eric Read |
