Re: Cracked Exhaust Manifold Questions

Ok, got some news. Not sure good or bad, but it is news.

I don't believe the manifold is cracked anymore. I looked closer at it and I think I was looking at the surface that is machined down where the intake meets up with it under the carb. I think that is good news.

Bad news, I still have the miss. I reset the timing to 4 degrees (which I believe is factory spec) and no change. I rechecked the dwell again and it is at about 33 degrees. I have absolutely no idea what to do next with this thing. I am completely lost on how it can go from running great one day after changing the points to having this nasty miss off idle.

The only vacuum lines on here are to the distributor (hard line off of carb, and I changed the short piece of rubber line from hard line to vacuum canister), and the PCV. The PCV has great suction, but I also plugged it at the manifold to see if it ran different and it didn't get rid of the miss.

Anyone have any suggestions other than to start taking things apart and changing gaskets???
