QJet Gurus: How do I speed up the "off choke"?
(Preview)

On my 327 when I rebuilt it, I did the partial restriction of the heat riser passage at the intake gasket, and I used a gutted heat riser as well. Even when I see 180 on the gauge, she still stays on high idle when out on the road, until...

SBC Main seal question,
(Preview)
Question; Can one change a SBC 2 piece seal with the engine in place, in a 65 B Body? I have just detected a small drip in the 65. Don't think its the pan. If it stays this small I'll not worry too much. Second, Will this wee drip eventually foul my clutch?
