Default what else can I find....

I cant believe my luck. First I have a cooling problem and rebuilding anything to do with cooling. I discover the intake manifold on my TPI was the problem. Must have had a unseen crack
causing it to run lean at highway speeds. Nobody I have spoke to has ever heard of such a thing.

This weekend I find why I had a exhaust leak that I could never find. After installing my new Edelbrock peformer heads the neck of the ram horn manifolds were hitting the heads not allowing the exhaust ports to seal with the manifolds. Fixed the drivers side by grinding a little off the head and some off the mainfold.

So I just wounder what strange thing Ill find next...........

I think we've all been there-
Some days you're the bug,
And some days you're the windshield...

The fine line between being eccentric and being totally off your rocker is in direct relationship to the amount of time and money spent on a non-collectable, body and numbers don’t match, ‘76 coupe.

You have described my mental state perfectly....I am on the "totally off" side of that equation.
