Chevrolet Other Gas Problem
I have a 1978 chevy scottsdale k10. I put headers and true duels on it, so its strait from headers then about 4 feet of pipe then the flowmasters. Well i was going down the rd one day and my head gasket blew, reason i knew bc it was smoking out the driver side exhaust and not the passanger side. so i drove it on home maybe 10 miles or so easy. i changed the head gaskets on both sides and put er back together and seemed like she was doing fine when i cramked er, till i noticed it was only heating out the driver side pipe. I went over and felt of the passanger side pipe and it was blowing cold air. This was after i had let her run, warm up and idle down. Please tell me you can tell me what would cause this... The only other thing i did besides new head gaskets and intake gaskets was flip the flap on the carb to where the 4 bbl would open up more than it was suppose to i assume.. Thanks for any help!

did you check to see if the head was cracked?? you drove 10 miles?? it most likely has a cracked head.
