Thanks for all of the tips!! It only fouls the plugs (autolite 45) at a idle, driving above that it don't seem to bother them. I drove it out to the US Nationals every day and it was fine. About 25 miles of Interstate each way. I have them gapped at .035 and valves set at .025, timing 12 deg. w/vac hose off. Total of 36 deg. with it on the dist. Have pertronix 40,000 v/coil 1.5 ohm and Pertronix Ignitor in the dist. New Taylor Pro Wires. I ran an positive lead from the battery to the 12volt side of coil and it didn't make any difference. It has 10-12 " of vac. at a idle approx 1200 rpms in netural. 10" of vac @ 700-800 in gear. Changed the intake gaskets but nothing helps. The bottom side of intake is fine blocked heat passage on intake. It runs around 160 deg. when hot. I had drag raced upto May of this yr. and sold my race car. Sold everything I had. Then found this starliner in the Toledo area. I took my first ride in a new 401hp Starliner in 61 and have wanted one since. I have owned a 63 Gal. 500 with 427,425hp, Hi-po 65 Must. 2- 428 CJ 69 Fairlanes 70 Must S/Pro w/487. Thanks again
