Drove her around the block finally
After about six months that it took me to get this thing going, I was able to finally drive her around the block.
What a difference the Carb rebuild makes. Smooth power.
This exhaust leak is driving me nuts though. I seemed to have tracked it down. Seems to be either the EGR tube(all is new here...new tube from SOR and gasket)or it's the metal rings that are part of the exhaust manifold at the ends.
These are the parts that can swivel and have about three sets of metal rings that serve as barriers for exhaust gases.
I'm hoping it's not these as I'd have to take the whole Intake/Exhuast manifold off.
I'll be able to tell a little better when I get that heat shield off that covers that swivel part of the manifold and poke around and listen with the heater hose for the source of the exhaust leak.
I'm really hoping it's just the EGR tube....
So close!
