and in my case,i lived in germany allmost all my life...and the classic car thing was not really my thing.but when i moved to the US that all changed. 10 jeahrs ago i didnt know how to do my own oil change ... and by now i have build 4 cars i bike and now a truck. i got infected thanx to my co worker mike. i just now became a member,never had a truck. i wanna thank all of you for all that information you put out ...helps me every day!!!

Welcome to the forum Marcel

You've been doing some nice work

Willkömmen Marcel.

In the engine pic with the manifold off, is the middle port plugged? It's hard for me to tell from the angle. If it is you should remove the manifold and clean them out.

That port supplies hot exhaust gas to the fuel/air mix from the carb. Helps keep the fuel a vapor.

On my 283 both ports were clogged. It wasn't hard to clean out while I changed manifold and carb.
