    Big block running hot. Can’t figure out the issue

    Checking that the carburetor providing the correct amount of fuel so you're not running lean would be the next step I would do knowing what I know, because your problems and all the cures you've tried to fix your problems is exactly what I went through 15 years ago! I did everything under the...
