Will replace coil cap and rotor. As suggested this engine started to run again the following day after the engine had cooled down. I agree the coil is likely on it's last legs.

As regards meltling mufflers

Progress picture - Ordered exhaust insulation wrap kit.

Getting the old flange off was brutal. Snapped the head off one of the old flange bolts with breaker bar leaving 1/2" of old bolt shaft protruding from the manifold. I thought it was the end of the...

Thanks for the sealant tip, flange as well?

Does the absence of need for sealant on the black pipe exhaust also apply to the Flange I bought from Moyer? I notice a gasket with the flange. Does it require some kind of goop?

Looking at Whippet's generic exhaust layout above my water line is much lower probably at the level of the lift so the exhaust at the manifold level remains above the water line even heeling

Thank you.

Absolutely there should be a rise and a drop in the exhaust pipe immediately after it leaves the exhaust manifold before the raw water coolant (in my case) enters. Every diagram that I...
