Default Re: gaksets/cracks oh my..in my 312

He did say to use a light under or on top to see if the angles are wrong or if I can see light at all. I think the min. Is to pull the manifold, sand the ports and carb base and recheck. Hopefully there are no internal/external cracks. After I regasket then I will use starter fluid to check for any leaks correct?

He has it set right now to run on a high idle with a rich carb setting to counter the leaks. Hopefully, I can DRIVE her into the garage on Fri/sat. This be the first time she has moved under her own power in 40+ years!
