Headers
Hi Rob,
I have a set of first gen firebird headers that I bought cheap at Stafford Springs Swap last year. I'm not going to use them for anything.

Fuel pressure is/was clearly the root of the problem.
If you swapped carbs, then whole intakes (to TriPower carbs)- and still had the same exact issue- that's telling you something.

Hi Jack,
You are absolutely correct. Thanks for pointing that out.
There is and should be no pressure in the float bowl- it is vented to atmosphere.

Return
I had the same (hot) re-start problem on my 69 427/435HP Corvette with the 3 Holleys.

There's a better/safer way to install them.
I did it this way when I converted the 63 Tempest to 4-wheel Disc and at the same time installed custom +2" Front Coils from Coil Spring Specialties.

Well, if three 2 barrels are good (TriPower), then six should be outstanding, right?
This is a real Pontiac "Six-Pack".

For those in the know- it's a 1955-60 intake.
