Intake Gaskets?
Hi guys, Ive got a 350 tpi
When i start it in the morning itll be fine.(rough but stable ) until i put it in gear and itll almost die then come back to life and have a slight hesitation.
Ignition system is intact
Icm is good
dist gear is new
Dist is reshimmed and in spec
new cap and rotor
msd 8.5 wires
All Injectors are over 16 ohms hot.
The curious thing is that im loosing coolant. So im thinking its a vacuum leak coming from bad intake gaskets. Thoughts opinons?

Re: Intake Gaskets?
The first thing is to find out where the coolant is going. Is the oil foamy? Is it dripping on the ground? Any white smoke when warm?
