The Ford Barn

I have a 63 406 tri-power and I have issues with the carbs also. It does get very hot under the hood. I'm sure it probably boils when shut down. My problem is with the carbs leaking down. If it sits for days, I have to crank a lot to start and it runs rough until warm. Once it warms up, it runs great, and no problem starting when hot. I pulled the plugs and can see drips on a couple pistons. If I start it often, no problem. This is very frustrating. If I am disrespectful, I guess I could figure out how to post pics.
