First start attempt
So after hookin everything up to try and start my 260 I6, i tried to start it, obviously. Im assuming it takes quite a while for fuel to be pumped from the tank to the carb, but how long? After turnin it with the starter for abut 30 seconds however, a little smoke started coming from the front of the motor. I looked and there was a little bit of coolant sitting on the block right below the 90 degree elbow that turns from horizontal to straight up, right where the thermostate is located. Im assuming this gasket is bad where the elbow bolts to the head, so does anyone know where i can get a new gasket for this? Thanks...
