Did the new springs need the spring seats machined for size? Did the retainers need the guides cut down? You should not have this much trouble installing springs whether they need shimming or not.

If you have that fuel filter in the left pic? It probably won't pass tech at the track. Those things will burn your car down, |

I just had my manifolds off and replaced the gasket with the Aussie carbon fiber gasket. It seals very well! So give one of those a try. They are reusable too!

why are you retorquing the head? That is for steel. If it is the Permatorque Blue? No need. |

Look under Virtual Dragstrip and/or Member Slant Sixes. He's posted times and such there. Sounds like a good running combo. Lou |
