I was washing off the engine of my 67 Coronet 383 . And at the rear of the intake I see what looks like some tin foil shoved up inbetween the intake and valley pan . I,m sure it for heat but i dont see any signs of it at the front of the intake . Is this factory or did someone else do this ? Seems to hold alot of water when washing the engine off . Thanks .

That is an insolator between the intake and valley pan cover from the factory, It probably got shifted while you were cleaning the motor.
Objects quickly DISAPPEAR in the rearview mirror and PLEASE stay seated until the ride comes to a complete stop!!

Chrysler used 2 of these on top of the valley pan to quiet the engine noise. They are found on C body cars more often than on B body cars.

I found 2 of them on a 383 I removed from a 70 Newport many years ago.
