hello everyone. sick of all the rain up here in illinois.
took the car out yesterday, running very poorly at idle. ok while cruising and on eway. died a few times even when warmed up. looked at the valley pan and there was quite a pit of leakage on it, so im guessing the intake leak was probably the culprit, or the carb is just at the end of its days.
anyways. i was wondering, whats the best way to seal the new intake valley pan? i know it comes with the black rv sealant.
any suggestions??

thanks

 

mopar -

Just a shot here, but make sure it's not the valve covers leaking and filling the pan...

i dont think so, put them on a few weeks ago no leaks and such.
its almost like a dryed up gas mix in the pan, but def a little oil too i believe.

the only other thing i could think is would the regulator do that? because i notice, in idle when it bogs down and wants to die out the headlights dim and such with the struggling motor.
any ideas?

 

I would check the connections on the back of the amp gauge !!!!

 

x2. Mopars are notorious for burning up that wiring back there...

Happened to me when i bought and drove home a 69 swinger. Died on me a few times, then did a little smoking in the garage. All good though.

 

what do you mean by amp gauge, the one on the dash that has the d-----c with the needle in the middle or whatnot?
