I'll be fixing that.....
Not sure how much exh leak it takes to mess up boost. But it will help.

I wonder what the drivers side looks like?

Was that why you thought your head gasket went or did you do a leak down test? Condensation comes out of my exhaust with e85 on startup on the regular.

No, I had no idea about the crack.
My car has been filling my overflow. And sat it filled it and actually overflowed it in 3 passes.

I have a post ip about it pushing coolant.

I've been busy moving and haven't been on much. But I did get me my 69 Chevelle to put my drivetrain in! Get it fixed and post back up!
