6 weeks and nearly a grand later....

First of all a big thank you to Russ and Randy at 21st Century Hudson for parts and Hudson advice for my local mechanic at Byron Auto! About 6 weeks ago I needed to have the brakes checked & bled and the gasket on the top end of the heat-riser replaced. Turned out to be quite a lot more to it than either I or my mechanic expected. In short my dual exhaust adapter was cast thick and made things so tight that it effectively popped the heat-riser gasket.  There were trials and tribulations but in the end it was ground down and pretty much every gasket from the exhaust manifold on back had to be replaced.
