[T3] How's the trip going?

[Keith Park]

Oops!  Forgot!  Sophy is a 66!  Still fuel pressure?  Probably not, if carbs
are getting gas then they should be fine,
Plugged jet? I had an idle jet plug on the Notch last fall, only idled on 2
cylinders, piece of crap right on the end of the idle solenoid.

Ive had injectors plug up too causing that, check your fuel pressure.

Well, THAT would SUCK!

I guess it's worth the peace of mind to back up and check for that. Even if
you go ahead and install Alex's new heads. It's a lot of work, but looking
at your photos I see that you have a really nice working area, and it's not
hot outside. (I note that everyone's in jackets or coveralls.)

Being able to press your valve springs by hand is troubling. That should be
too hard for most mortals to do.

Side Note: Valve springs have one end with closer windings. That end goes
against the head. Check that.

BTW, did you try filling the combustion chambers with water to see if they
leak out past the valves? Light valve spring pressure often leads to burned
valves.
