I finally got time and energy to pull the head again. I used a NAPA compoisite gasket and my new Holley replacement carb. It started right up tonight and the carb performed flawlessly right out of the box. Whee! I took a compression test before I even tried to start it and the number 3 cylender was a little low, but not alarmingly so. I drove it around tonight for a few miles and it's good. The next trick is to see if the gasket holds up more than 500 miles. I checked the the block and head for warpage the straight edge and feeler guage trick and it seemed ok. cross fingers and see how far it gets this time........................johnny
now I'm sorry I missed that weber and adapter on e-bay last week for $147. I was too disgusted to think about spending more money on a broken car, now I'm sorry.......................
