Break in question . burned paint?

Keep us posted as you are able, curious as to how it turns out...

I will but it will not be until next weekend.. I got a new thermostat. What spark plugs will give me a hotter range than the Autolite 3924's. There is not one in the same numbering system that is hotter, just colder in the 3923's. @RustyRatRod, we just redid that valve adjustment when we replaced the inner springs. I will also check for vacuum leaks. I think there is one between the intake and the heads. There were a couple backfires of flame through the carb and I can see some "smoke stain" looking for a better tem , but it escapes me at this time.
