good advice but even the crappy chain cover and bad Edelbrock carb had him stumped for a while. He did call summit and get them to take it back. Edelbrock basically denied the whole thing. I may add the crap carb caused a backfire which blew out the manifold gaskets requiring replacement. More $ i was never compensated for. I will say gm crates have less problems than some of the rebuilts that are out there. Some are rebuilt in CHINA or other SEA places like Vietnam. Makes old vets blood boil.
