    Agreed! But I would like to know what was the cause, not only for myself, but for anyone else who has had this happen.

    I took the car for a four mile drive this morning before work and it ran perfect. This is the first time that it ran good in the morning since I started having the issue. Will try again this evening and tomorrow morning and will keep everyone posted. I would much rather know what caused this...

    Hello everyone - My car is a 1968 Polara 383 originally 2 bbl. I had a 4bbl intake from a 67 383 laying around and decided to upgrade (replace) using that manifold and an Edelbrock 1406 (plan was to eventually replace the cam, timing chain, lifters). Here is the issue that developed: First...
