Re: 113 GM heads

Upon shutting the car off I can hear bubbling..coolant isnt boiling.

There is moisture coming out the exh pipe if i put my hand over it. Not smoking but its there.
Not sure an intake gasket would cause this? I could be so lucky.

Re: 113 GM heads

That would be a relief, guess I passed over that and went right to HG due to the known issues these 88-91 TPI cars have with it.

Re: Effect of multiple mufflers

A good friend of mine owned Jimmys Bullet for a numbe of years. That car is still freakin loud lol Have thought about swapping from dual ultraflows (a body) to 2 super turbos and a low restriction suitcase muffler to make it super quiet.
