Found the damn leak!!!!

Dark_5.0 · 03-25-2004, 08:05 PM

The intake gaskets I used were too small to work with the large ports of the Canfield heads.

I got some Felpro 1262's and now it idles like a dream and I have brakes

Now its time to go race

Brakes are a nice thing to have

Way to go, Dark! I've always used 1262's on my TW heads and had no issues.

Glad you found it.

302 LX,
It's always interested me how Trick Flow calls for 1250's in their paperwork, but 1262's seem to work better for everyone who tries them.
Glad you found it Dark...

I had tried

Felpro 1250's
Mr gasket 5834's

I was beginning to think that there was something wrong with my intake manifold.

I thought the entire race season was gonna pass me by there for a minute.
