Hello Stefan, I have had the same issue with several cars. Gaskets never seem to do any good no matter how thick they are. The reason is the heat is transfered directly through the mounting studs to the carb. Until you isolate those it will continue to percolate. The best solution I have found is to mount a 3-4 PSI pump near the tank, and run it when the ignition is on. I have an R2, a 62 fuel injected Corvette, a 32 Chevy and a 96 Sea Ray boat I'm doing this with now with no issues. Best of luck, John C.

I installed a rebuilt blower on my R2 and used Valvoline Synthetic Transmission Fliud. It has less than 2,000 miles on it and is now growling at me. So now I get to spend my money again. Lesson learned no synthetic! Type F only! Just thought I would pass that along. John C.

Hi Tom, I've never had my evaporator out so I don't know what mine looks like. If it were mine I would just clean all the old stuff off of the pan. Then give it a coating with something watertight and reinstall it. I think you would be just fine. Best of luck, John C.

I recently rebuilt my R2 and added A/C to it. It had had the blower pulled years ago and an original A/C unit installed. I used the original evaporator and condenser a Sanden rear exit compressor and new lines. It has a stock 4 speed radiator (automatic transmission) with a transmission cooler in front of the condenser. The alternator is stock but much modified. All of the brackets and supports were made in house. Works great and the engine temps have stayed well under 190 to date. Everything clears the hood by 3/16 inch. not much but that is what the stock carb bonnet clears by. John C. The air cleaner is behind the headlight.

I have Don's Quiet tone mufflers and I am very happy with the tone and the decibel level. They are really quite nice and I don't feel they impede the performance to any great degree. John C.

If your not concerned with 0riginality put in a Centerforce diaphram clutch. The pedal is very easy on your leg and the clutch hooks up hard and quick. I've got one in a 62 fuel injected Vette and I fell in love with it. I was not concerned with it being original though. Best of luck, John C.

Hello all, FYI I checked my 1557570 heads that are fresh from the machine shop and they are 58 cc's. These heads have been milled .004" to clean them up. John C.

I'll have to agree with Ed. I think there is a better car under that crud than it appears. A lot of hard to find trim parts are there. Remember... You have to clean the oyster to find the pearl! Best Of Luck, John C.

A friend of mine just threw out his aftermarket EFI after fighting it for two years with factory support. He installed an Edelbrock carb and is in love with his car again! Sorry I don't know the brand of EFI he tried. So if you buy one beware. John C.

You might clean it first with lighter fluid, it helps to break down any hardened crap. then do the lube. John C.

Hello Leo, I would pull the fuel pump and take it apart. I think you have a bad diaphragm. If it is not that the source of the issue seems to be in the pump from what I can gather so you should find the problem. Best of luck, John C.
