I have a couple of old core starters, but that big heavy starter is just so weak.
I bought the Hooker headers used and they were kind of banged up. The guy assured me that they were off a 69 B body, but the header tubes touched the plugs. I had to beat them in pretty good to get clearance and I still had to run a shorty Accel plug.
Now I am running the MSD fuel injection and it is really sensitive to exhaust leaks. The headers appear to be leaking around the exhaust ports when I looked at the new gaskets. When I let off the gas, I get a faint popping through the pipes as well. I feel like the exhaust leaks are the issue.
