Coil under the coil packs?

Mystery to what happened in #7, checked the rods and found no marring. Then again, this motor has been rebuilt prior to my ownership
After running through over $50 bucks in degreaser and carb cleaner, I found this stuff works wonders and for $10 bucks at depot it makes 25 gallons
Cleaned and painted the rocker covers

As far as the fuel line is concerned the repair job the PO did doesn't look bad but he shouldn't have used worm clamps you need fuel line hose clamps. That's what makes it a potential hazard. If he tightened the hose clamps too much he may have damaged the hose. It's worth checking. If you need to replace the hose you can get 5/16 high pressure fuel line hose from autozone. That's the only hose that will suffice anything else is unsafe. But you probably know this.
I speak from repairing my fuel line twice.

I can't think of any type of failure that would result in the damage to the block by cylinder 7. That looks like the chuck of a drill or something. Very strange.
Your thermostat looks like a 190 or a motorad. I had the motorad 180 in my truck and just swapped it for an LR 180 and my temps dropped another 8 to 10 degrees. It was running around 195 to 200, now it never goes over 190. Your tee looks new also. Did you put that together?

As for the stat, I ordered the one listed as a 180 Motorad off of rock auto, along with a nissen rad and expansion cap. I'll monitor the temps on the ultra gauge when I get this back together and report back. I did make the t fitting, home depot special
