RE: Old fords cold blooded?

thanks for your suggestions. Since I just bought the car yesterday. I will check it all out. The car was rarely driven and probably set up for optimal spring/summer choke conditions. It is a stock 735 Holly that I am dealing with. My car is a bone stock 68 Shelby GT500. I drove it around with no problems yesterday, at least 60 miles. Then it back fired and smoked up my air filter, looks like it started to melt a vacumn plug on the side of the carb, but after a rocker arm gasket leak we found the oil leak. The funny thing is this occured post carb fire. Oh well, I have seen plenty of coincidences before. This should be an easy fix. I am sure the timing is close, since I haven't had too much trouble getiing it started. The carb fire occured when the car was parked nose up in our driveway. It did.t start for a few crank, then it coughed and I could see flames from the drivers seat through the louver holes in the hood. I never knew the louvered hood could come in handy like that! Why the rocker gasket let out now is byond me. At least this is very quick fix.
This thread, so far...
