Sully,
I have been on both sides of the fence, and if I asked a dealer if I can
remove the carb, they will brand me as another A Hole Asian.
I know I am, but do not need to have me reminded.
The White particales on the runner on the intake is a very positive
indicator that the intake can be cracked, or will be..
A set of Good Truck duty mufflers need to be used, not the standard car.
One side goes bad, the exaust takes the route through the intake and heats
it up good and Red, leaving a white oxide coating.
