Would conduction of heat, via copper wire from EFI manifolds, to the bottom the the offy intake be better than water heat? I am asking because I have no heat to my intake yet, and have the slightest inconsistent stumble that is driving me bananas.

The offy is designed to bolt to the stock exhaust manifold right? So, would exhaust temperature be ideal VS. water temperature.

 

Copper wire? Sounds like experiment time. The water heat is an inexpensive and simple fix. F-250 restorer and AbandonedBronco have posted pics several times. If you want one ready made message F-250 restorer...he just might know someone that has them ready-made.

 

I think if I were going to do something like that I'd try using something like a heated mirror adapter. But for easy, trouble free operation you just can't beat the water setup IMO.
