Good guess Mike but not exactly correct. The heat shield refers to the tin cover that was bolted around the outside of the manifold when it was new. Most the these were either destroyed years ago from the excess heat of burning straight gas or thrown in the weeds. The idea was to retain the heat around the manifold to improve combustion when burning distillate fuels. On some models (F-20, F-30, etc.) there was a restrictor plate in the manifold but it was not called a heat sheild.
