Becareful tuning your carb.

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I was doing some lite tuning on my carb as it ser up for 4.88 not the 3.07 gears that I have now.

After I adjusted the secondary air door on the Q-jet. I flipped my hand over, and the bit I was using was thrown into my carbs primary bores. I thought I fell on the floor or in the frame rails.

Well I was wrong. 1 mile later I heard a tin tin tin sound from the engine.

Today I got the engine out today, and had to pull plus to get a header off.

The plug was bashed in, and coolant flowed out of #8 cylinder.

I have a couple of blocks I could rebuild, and get another piston to replace the damaged one. The head probably got cracked, and I lost a good set of old AFR castings.

I will tear the engine down later to see what really happened. That engine was supposed to go into my Camaro.
