Couldn't leave it alone.

Thought I ought check the plugs for tune, and they were white as a paper plate.

Figured I best go up in in jet sizes.

Changed jets, and fought hand to hand with Mr. Gasket.
We seemed to disagree on how well a fuel line should seal.

I will say that during the fuel leakage apocalypse. It was Knipex flat jaw pliers that saved the day.
They are now my "A" ticket ride when it comes to fastening Holley bowl fittings. (I need to acquire another pair so these can stay in the Strip Kit)

Also, I always thought these nylon gaskets were meh, but today I'm a believer.

I'll have to keep some of these in my box with the Viton coated aluminum gaskets. Always good to have options.


That's it for today.
