Re: Insulating I6 Exhaust Manifold Photos

I run 92 octane in my truck...I am using an edelbrock 4 barrel and I have headers which run a lot hotter then an exhaust manifold...most I have driven the truck is about 10 miles and no leak yet...course it hasn't been all that hot either....ah well..guess its time for dual electric fans! LOL! I remember the first edlebrock carb I put on was seeping fuel out of the carb gasket(the one that connects the top of the carb to the bottom. NOT the carb/intake gasket)...That may have been the issues was overboil of fuel...not sure...I'll see about digging up a picture...if I find on you'll have to look fairly hard. In the picture...look hard at the front center of the carb on the left and right front..you'll see a slight discoloration...that is fuel. It kinda looks orange in the picture. Since I put the other new one on(I returned the one that was seeping fuel) I haven't had this issue....we'll see what happens when temps are over 90.
