Exhaust Crossover
Hi there, I have an 86 350. I noticed that the intake in getting burned right at the exhaust crossover ports. I tried the Edelbrock intake gaskets with the blocked passages and still gets the paint burned. Does anybody have a suggestion? Is the exhaust gas too hot? It has a Quadrajet carb and the engine timing is 8deg BTDC.
Thanks!

You worry too much. Put on your trunks and flip-flops and go lay on the beach.

Just a thought, but when I pulled my EFI intake which had been installed exactly as Edelbrock specified using the Edelbrock gaskets and Edelbrock Gasgacinch on the gasket to head surface I found two places where the gasket had failed, creating one leak between two adjacent cylinders, and one runner to plenum leak. I bought a set of FelPro gaskets to put it back together, and they seemed to be much, much more substantial. I'll be using FelPro from now on.Roger

Changed the shocks yesterday to OEM spec Monroe, they are still gas shocks. Disappointed that the ride is still very firm, it is not as bad but I was hoping for better. Might have something to do...
