Miss and carb tuning troubleshooting
Update, found not one, but two exhaust leaks. Was checking my choke adjustment before I left work, fast idle at 1500 and I cold hear this tiny noise, stuck my finger around the flanges and low and behold I found hot exhaust gas hittin my finger, leaking past the header flange onto the primaries on cylinder 5 and 6. Is this a common issue on dougs? sorta odd it's on adjacent cylinders. The car had the miss as soon as I fired her up after I first put them on, so i don't think they blew out, and I put a good amount of high temp silicon around the sealing areas. Thinking the gaskets could possibly be off a tad bit? Pics below show where it's leaking. I'll pull em off tomorrow to see whats really going on. Things are coming together!
