Only one header tube is glowing. My dad has a 1969 RS-SS Camaro convertable 396ci 375hp with factory aluminum heads (JJ option). So it is a very high dollar car!
Well he has been restoring it for the last 10+ years and today was the first start up. So on the initial fire up the distributer poped up and disengaged the oil pump. Luckily I was right there wathcing the gauges so we turned the motor off almost immediatly. When we got it fixed and started the motor up again it ran fine for about 17 minutes. But then all of the sudden only one header primary tube started glowing red. What could have caused this? I think it isn't related to the oil pump failure but I am not sure. BTW, he is running an aftermarket fuel injection intake but for the first start up he put a carb on just to make sure.
I am really worried because I am the one who installed the distributer. I feel sick
