Hi all, I’ve recently gotten back into the hobby and have a ‘68 Charger (383 HP 4sp) that is a decent driver but has some motor issues and am hoping you more experienced folks can help me understand what’s going on.
- Easy to cold start and keeps running if I give it gas
- If I let off the gas and let it idle, it struggles at idle and will stall if I don’t give it gas
- If it stalls, it’s really hard to get it to start again
- If it gets up to normal temperature, it usually runs a little better
- Whistling/whining kind of sound under acceleration / deceleration (you can kind of hear the whine sound in the video)
- Sometimes after acting like this, hours after the motor has been off, I see coolant has leaked and usually pooled up on the k member, but can’t tell where it’s coming from
- Something is leaking and pooling up on the intake and boiling off- seems to be coming from one of the bolts mounting the intake to the head. (you can see this in the video also)
