Had a similar problem with mine after rebuild and a few miles, mine had a small leak. Re torked and so far so good.

I’ll join in. OO of my L78 ‘69 Chevelle had a mentor in the Musclecar / race car world back in 1969. This guy from Roanoke VA bought a new ‘68 L89 Camaro coupe locally and raced it in on the street and at the local strips. He advised OO of my ‘69 Chevelle to go with a solid lifter Chevy for its increase performance. I am friends with the L89 guy on FB and can get more details if wanted. He does not currently own the car.

“My car was a 1968 SS Camaro L78/L89 ordered from Ourisman Chev in northern Virginia. I ordered it with the SS package, 4speed, it was white with red interior and a black vinyl top. I ordered power front disc brakes, quick ratio manual steering and all gauges/“
