Re: 59AB - Headers vs stock exhaust manifolds?

I love the sound of these Fenton cast iron headers and no mufflers, but OMG very hard to get them to fit around steering box. When they get hot they warm up the gear oil!

Busted Crab but what happened?

Man I really screwed this one up! But what happened? It felt like it was seated good and flat, turned over the engine, after it didn't start this is what I found. Brand new rebuild from Bubbas.

Max is the best period! I need to send him another 97 I found to rebuild. Fantastic service at a fair price! I recently watched a Jay Leno Garage episode and Max Musgrove was mentioned on the show!

Re: spark plugs

B6L are the best plugs I have ever run! Autolite 437's are great but too long for stock heads.
