Where did you get the idea that the heat riser was blocked off? I had said that the exhaust was coming out of the passenger side? If the heat riser was blocked there would be nothing coming out of the passenger side! Where did you get the idea that the heat riser was blocked off? I didn't say...

YES you were the first one to respond all right, where did you get the idea that the heat riser was blocked off? I had said that the exhaust was coming out of the passenger side? If the heat riser was blocked there would be nothing coming out of the passenger side!

Why do you say that I **** on people **** head? Tony was making a funny!And I didn't say anything bad about it,

The heat Riser isn't in the passenger manifold anymore it was all rusted out and the shafts we're worn out so I removed it and welded the holes shut that the shaft went thru. This extra info is for those of you that have never done this or worked on a motor.

LOL, I know right I'm getting ready to pull the valve cover off right now.

I bought a used 440 last winter and I put it in my 70 road runner last weekend. Here is my problem. I got it fired up and it seemed like it was only running on 6 or 7 cylinders. I ran it for 20-30 minutes, turning it off occasionly to check timimg, etc. I noticed that the exhaust manifold on...
