After installing dual 40's on a '76 2.0, and running the tall manifords. They were set up by Jake, and started up the first time....Semper Fi! Anyway, after a valve adjustment, tweaking the timing, and fine tuning the carbs, took the car out for a fifthteen mile run. Still need to tweak the carbs, but noticed the bank of 1 & 2 were just barely warm. Bank 3 & 4 were almost hot! Searched the oldies posts back to 2003, and found a thread on gaskets. I had installed my manifolds with the gaskets that Jake had sent with the set, but had to remove the manifolds to plug the holes on each side. Reinstalled the manifolds with the FI gaskets. My question...sorry this is so long....was I suppose to add paper gaskets w/the FI ones??

..........AND as the previous post suggested...balancing the carburators may just be the problem....START by disconnecting the carburators from the crossbar/ or linkage....balance the carburators...THEN connect the linkage, ensuring there is NO preload on one or the other carburator...After connecting ensure both carburators are STILL balanced.....this is a good start to solving the problem...AS it could be that the carburator jets ,while marked as a specific size, just might not be the actual size marked., causing one side or the other to run hotter or cooler....What type fan housing you got., could be that the "cooling flappers" are not installed-adjusted properly.(thats why I used to throw them as far as I could, after bending them in half, as I hate the M.F.S.Bitches.).
