Review on Heatshield Products 4-Inch ID x 10-Foot Thermaflect Sleeve Heat Shield Sleeve by Brandon Woodson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I had to push it to one side and wait for the engine to cool before starting it again.

My 67 GTO is finally on the road after a long restoration. I took it to a car show about ten miles from my house. Imagine my disappointment and embarrassment when I pulled up at the driveway and the car stalled due to a vapor lock! I had to push it to one side and wait for the engine to cool before starting it again. Not very impressive. Several people have given me some ideas on how to solve this problem, mostly using wooden clothespins. Creative. I decided to buy this product which seems to solve my problem. The downside is that if you participate in the judging activities, the anal judge will downgrade the car as this item is not original to the car. I suppose I could uninstall and reinstall it on each event, but I don't think I want to bother with that. I think I'll take a deduction.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Socket required
