I have a copy of the bill for the carb and sidepipes which shows a MrGasket 59159 intake gasket (wrong for this application as it takes a MrGasket 202A per Dove tech support), as well as a cheap 750CFM DP quickfuel, which was too much carb for the car and washed the fuel down the cylinder walls......

I'll leave it at that........

Today's updates.

FELPRO 1247 is the proper intake gasket set up for this engine.


Heads have been cleaned up, intake has been cleaned up and installed. Waiting for the sealant (for those that do not know better you do not use the cork gaskets for the end seals) to cure a little while longer and will hopefully fire the engine back up this evening.........Then check to see whether it was truly just another bad gasket job, or whether I need to yank the motor and do the bottom end per the person who sold it to me .
