crusader 260 starboard manifold hot

[ChacoDog]

I installed/converted to electronic ignition in my 1982 V/P crusader 260 w/280 outdrive in my 36 Gibson Standard,

While in the bilge and basically "laying on the engine", adjusting the timing and idle I have came to notice hat the starboard side exhaust manifold is a loott hotter than the port side,,,, is this something to worry about and keep investigating.

after running for 15 to 20 minutes
port side= you can lay your hand on it indefinitely
starboard side= you can lay your hand on it for about about 5 seconds
