    TQ gasket advice

    I have seen where some people run two gaskets under a TQ to reduce the heat transfer from the manifold. I was planning on running a 1/4 to 5/16 gasket on mine but was wondering if there is any advantage to running with two thinner gaskets rather than one thicker or is that just personal...

    70 Duster keeps shutting off

    My 1970 318 Duster keeps shutting down. It has a MSD 6A and MSD coil. It ran fine for over 3000 miles and then started shutting off. I have replaced the coil and its not fuel. Could it be the MSD box itself. I have heard that you can eliminate the balast resistor with that. It will shut down...
