Jon,

I slipped down to drop an engine off to Bruce a few weeks ago ( is that all I do, you ask? ), and had a peek at the Fox.

The Fox, Carrier and new grey sedan seemed in fine order, as did the Parkers, and all of the pets.

I suspect that Bruce knows what he's doing - and in the fullness of time all will be know!

That having been said - I have a heck of a vacuum leak somewhere on that 216 of mine. The next time you see your mechanic - ask him if there is a secret to getting a tight seal on the intake side of that bolt together manifold. Does he smear any sealant goop around those sheet metal rings that transition from the intake manifoled to the head?
