Default Re: What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?

Fixed a vacuum leak causing idle issues. Someone maniaced a 1/8-27 npt female port on my Offy intake & I couldn’t adjust idle over 400rpm even bottoming the idle screw adjuster. I cleaned the hole then ran a tap in it to clean maniaced threads & put 1/8 npt male fitting w 1/4 “ port tube. Also used clear rtv to seal top threads that were just maniaced ti much to repair. Rtv curing now & will check after.
