yea it sat for 6 months to a year before i bought it. its really reddish almost like that high temp silicon and i thought maybe a hose was actually supposed to be in there or something? Or they just have random holes in carbs? lol its been 15 years since I got under a hood im rusty!!
Ill take a closer look/smell when i pop the hood next.
The whole engine bay needs to be cleaned up. I hate getting greasy just touching anything.
I'm thinking this engine has a light cam in it. Now that I can hear it it lopes more than a stock sbc. but Ill hold judgement till the tuneup.
I've never even had it over 1/4 throttle.
