oK I HAVE DRAINED RADIATOR AND PULLED PLENUM GASKETS LOOK BRAND NEW DOES NOT SHOW ANY LEAK. I DRAINED ALL THE OIL NO WATER FOUND AT ALL. NEW OIL AND FILTER AND CLEANED UNDER PLENUM YET AGAIN. I REPLACED ALL SOFT RUBBER VACUUM LINES AND USED IDEAL CLAMPS AND ZIP TIES ON SMALL FITTINGS WITH THE MIGHTY VAC HOLDS 50NG STRONG WITH NO LEAK DOWN AFTER 5 MINUTES. REPLACED COILS AND WIRES FOR THE HELL OF IT AND CHECKED SECONDARIES ADJUST AND ALL SEEM CLOSED TIGHT. THE NEW MSD COILS LOOK GREAT. CHANGED ALL PLUGS WITH AC DLECO PLATINUMS AND GAPPED AT .35. REFILLED RADIATOR AFTER FLUSHING IT AND ADDED TO BOTTLES OF WETTER AND NEW ANTIFREEZE. ALSO NOTICED SERP BELT HAD CRACK ON UNDERSIDE SO R&R THE SERP BELT AND THE TENSIONER JUST FOR SAFE KEEPIN. PUT A NEW OPTIMA BATTERY AND CHECKED FUEL PRESSURE 57 OBS HOLD STRONG. ALSO BLEW OUT DRAIN IN INTAKE VALLEY AND USED BLUE LOCTITE ON COIL BRACKET AND THE BRACKET IN THE FRONT SOME OF THOSE BOLTS WERE HAND TIGHT. I THINK I HAVE IT ALL FINISHED, GOING TO TAKE A 1 HOUR COOL DOWN BREAK AND THEN TRY TO START YET AGAIN. GENTLEMAN THE FIFTH TIME BETTER BE THE CHARM. I HAVE DEFINATLY POPPED THE PLENUM CHERRY.
