Keith,
You don't need luck, you've got the skill set to fix this stuff; all you have to do is be patient.
When you've got all these items corrected DON'T touch anything else - Murphy is alive and well!

Subject: [GMCnet] It's always something
EVERYTHING was working good, no great.
Ready for Elkhart!
I decided to fatten up the carb a little, so I took out the 68's and put in 69's, wide band told me thats too fat 13:1 at cruise.
So back in the 68's go. Took it out for a test drive and while it runs fine.. BUT I now have a loud header gasket leak.
Gasket is blown on #2. bolts are tight
Fine, I have a spare gasket.
4 out of 5 bolts approve.
The 5th one?
Took out 2 sockets, 1 open end wrench, plenty of penetrating oil, 3 nuts welded to the head.
Still refuses to budge.
Hopefully a conversation with Guido the cutoff wheel will change it's mind tonight.
Also pulled all the plug wires out of their metal spark plug connectors...yay
Wish me luck
