More information about the engine: It was a rebuilt we installed in 1971. The car is a driver and I use a couple of times a week to go to town and a Sunday drive once in a while through out the year. It does not seem to have problems with the cooling system. The plug gap is fine. Think my next...

It's been taking a long time to warm my engine up and we live in a mild climate. Have to continually use the choke for the first 2-3 minutes to keep it going and then after 4-5 minutes it runs fine. I suspect a cracked intake manifold but can't find it. So far I have put new copper manifold...
