Re: "Rice Rocket'
I just used a gasket between manifolds and head..
Inch of free play huh, looks like it would fall off with that much? I know it must need alot of free play lol

Look for black sooty spots at the manifold gaskets, the donuts, and on the manifolds themselves. They have been known to crack. That will be your leak if you have one. You already fixed the fuel leak, but newbies to line flaring sometimes get off center or over tighten the tool and it causes the flare to crack and leak.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
i don't use gaskets on my manifolds to head anymore, my 85 kept blowing them out and dad told me that most old chevy V8s don't need them so i haven't run any on my stuff since
