    Coolant leak

    Ok so after searching a bit I couldn't come up with anything. Here's my problem, just replaced my water pump gasket for the millionth time it seems and no matter what I do I always end up with some sort of leak.

    Clutch Linkage

    Ok guys I'm having a little difficulty getting my clutch linkage back in. I just redid my 351w with the addition of Hooker Competition Headers (6901) and it looks as if it wants to fit, but I'm stumped. Is anyone running a manual with these headers in a '69 or '70?

    Help with pushrods

    I recently installed Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads on my 351w. I read through the instructions and saw that the recommended pushrod length is 8.05 for a 351w with a hydraulic roller, so these are the ones i ordered. I've been playing with the rocker arm adjustment which are 1.6 roller rockers...
