Jimmy, did you add a heat shield? The cone is sitting in the hottest part of the engine bay.
I agree about the turn signal, and you old grizzled bastards need to step away so we can make some changes 
I'd have to get it out and dirty before I could show you pics.

Opposite the exhaust? To me, the exhaust side is hotter. There will be a hood vent right above it eventually too.
It will be getting extended into the PS cowl...so that is where it will be till I get to it...

Gotcha. Well the rear corners are the hottest underhood areas, and I don't recall a significant difference between one side or the other from what I read. Even going to the cowl, I'd add heat shielding since it's crossing over the motor.

Anyone under the hood is too hot to me. Short of Ram air...need to get it out of the engine bay.

Here is the scoop, garret and i pulled the old motor, which was a pain, took longer than normal, but got it done with a lot of shaking. Get the new motor in, starts up, little rough like it isnt firing on a cylinder. Check the plugs cause we had spark, did a tune up, then it wont start. The bypass jeep put in for the cps was on the exhaust manifold. Fixed the section, still no start. Got home at 4 am (thanks for the ride garrett)
Today, had to pack everyone into the car and go up there, bought a new cps on the way. Install it, motor still turns over great. No start. Have my stepson crank it over while i put a plug on the block, have spark. All 6 cylinders. So im stumped. I check the schrader valve, and it has no fuel. Fuel pump primes, so i take my FPR off the old motor and replace it. Same deal.
End result, have spark, no fuel pressure.
Hypothesis, i pinched a fuel line either taking the motor out or putting it in. I had to leave, and garrett said he would check tomorrow.
Steve, your trailer is with my truck.
In barnesville.
Sorry for the long story but if yall have any idea what else it could be, lemme know.
