Quick question if I may guys?
Im currently undertaking a rebuild of my 352.
I probably shouldn’t be as I have no idea what I am doing but hey, when has that ever stopped me
Anyway whilst I’m waiting for parts to arrive I’ve been cleaning up some items.
The below photos of my exhaust manifold. Is this the exhaust gas control valve? It appears to be stuck open.
Looking at the workshop manual, it looks like a spring is missing?
Does this look like someone has modified this to stay open and if so, is that a problem?
