You might make sure you're feeding the air through the air box from the
aft end to the front, with the front outlet going to the engine. This
presents the greatest delta (difference) in temp gradient to the air
from the exhaust and it will pick up more heat.

Bruce,
My inlet is on the front side and the outlet is on the rear. I will take a look at this and see what I think.
Bob,
I do have a carburetor air temperature gauge and the same engine as you do. I have started to pick up carburetor ice as low as 21*F in the carburetor. I have had to head in a glide, toward the nearest airport until the ice melted. The carburetor heat needs to raise the temperature at least 15*F in my opinion. My 6*F is not enough.
I still think that I like that steel wool at: http://www.keysan.com/ksufl16.htm/
I will let you all know in a few weeks what the results are.
Thanks again for the help guys!
Sincerely,
--
