Hello,
I'm finally putting my 430 back together after years. Runs great but I can't seem to get the surge tank to seal at the thermostat housing. 3 tries with various sealers. Most recently I filled the pits on the surge tank flange with JB Weld and sanded the surface flat. Then used "The Right Stuff" which I have used everywhere else with good success - new FelPro gasket. Now leaking worse than ever, even with no pressure.
I can buy a (new?) surge tank from TBirdHQ for $200, but it may have the same problem.
Should be simple, but I'm at my wits end with this - any ideas?
Thanks,
John
