Hello helpful falcon owners!
I recently came to be a proud owner of a 1961 2door Falcon with a rebuilt straight 6 170.
It has been running badly and needs an experienced look over.
this is my daily driver for getting to work. About 12 miles a day 5 days a week. My girlfriend and I have a newer vehicle for long travel and driving.
Any Go-to winners for mechanics that anyone would recommend?
thorough and smart about older engines?

I know that I have an exhaust manifold gasket leaking as I can hear it. And I have heard that getting a carb rebuild or replacement is something to do asap.

any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have been looking to see if there is a Thread anywhere in the forum for helpful advice for new falcon owners???
