Well I got the verdict on the Cummins head.

It’s not cracked but that’s where the good news ends.

Guides are shot, seats are shot. 700 bucks more for the rebuild. Gulp.

But better than 2500 for a new bare head

He said after he cleaned the head up real good and such, and comparing it to the gasket, he says he thinks the gasket let go

Do you have a precision straight edge to check the deck for flatness?
 
2-3 weeks to get it back. Then I gotta save for new injectors, damn diesels are expensive.
 
Hey guys. So. Funny thing. For unknown reason my 408 has developed a acceleration bog off idle. Fully disassembled the carb. Cleaned. I never fine tuned this carb. Has orange cam. And unknown nozzle. Stamped 18. Holly start at 25. Hmmm. Any ideas? Runs great there then that. I did not really notice bog before rust issue...but I really never looked. I was driving pretty easy
 
I got a new starter relay and it is different from the one on the car now. It is missing a blade, where this blue wire is connected and then connected on the wheel well. Do I not need this on the new one? Thanks
