Thanks for the tip, Flip!
As it turns out, the switch to the 4 bbl set-up solved my problems with the
oil fouling and also no more backfiring in the exhaust when lifting on the gas.!! But a noticable decrease in power. I'll be switching back to the webers when I get the manifold issue worked out, and I'll be pulling the head and maybe the engine (rearseal leak) at that time. But for now, the weather is good, so i'll keep it on the road !!!!!
