Wow, finally found the ticking noise!

Haha, I thought my collector gaskets were bad...WRONG! I just noticed this, my HEADER gasket, right on the #1 cylinder, has a HUGE split in it. So, this weekend I will swap on a set of copper header gaskets, and HOPEFULLY it'll be quiet finally.

I would look into some Stage 8 header bolts while you are at it,
I have never had a gasket problem in 25 years of using them.

I bought some a month ago for the stock manifolds on y '86 350. I've had to replace gaskets a couple of times due to bolts loosening up. I want to do it one more time and have them stay tight for good. The Stage8 bolts aren't cheap, though-- around $50 for the ones I needed. Now, if only warmer weather would come to let me put 'em on...
