Hi: I have one on my 67 daily driver with a Ford crate motor (302, 340 hp). It seems to work well. Can't say if it's better than a non-air gap, this is the only manifold I've had. Two issue for me: 1) The car needs a lot of choke if it's cold (even around 50*). I think that because the manifold does not heat up as fast. 2) I have a persistent small coolant leak from the pass side front that is the result of a poor seal between the head and manifold. Don't know it it's the manifold's fault, or not.
But it does look good!
