Rick L - To be fair to Fel Pro, when I first bought the car, the original owner wanted to keep the dual quad set up and installed a new Blue Thunder manifold and Holley carb. Since he was selling the car, I am not sure how much care went into installing the new manifold as their was a significant leak in the middle of the rear rail. I really didn't want him fixing the problem so a second set of Fel Pros went in and after a few hundred miles, a leak developed in the same area. Tore it down again and puts lots of RTV in that area and had no problems. I developed a leak about a month ago that would only occur when I shut the car off. In the end, the intake gasket was leaking in the back corner of the block where the head meets the intake. I used and exacto knife to clean out the area and injected in a bit of RTV which has held so far. In the mean time, I ordered the Cometic intake gasket figuring I would install them when my patch failed. Looks like the time has come to but that set to good use. I appreciate your intallation advice.
