HI, I timed it with a vacuum gauge for max vacuum and then dropped it like 2 inches . its set around 16 inches. Wouldn't vacuum be valve timing?

HI, Thanks.. Yeah the heads are the same stock one's I had on it just had them cleaned and milled .010 and a valve job on them .. the cam was the only new component OH and the springs to match the cam.. Yes me too .. So I'm farming it out to a shop for head gasket removal replacement. the...

HI, I never said it was leaking??? it does not leak any coolant .. and the flow is good/great ... Only time it lost coolant was when it was boiling but only lose a small amount overflow tank caught the majority of it all and as it cooled is was sucked back in..

HI, Talked with my Machinist today.. about the over heating.. He said nothing we/he did would have caused the extrema overheating. it might have caused a small amount of heat but not enough to cause it to boil over.. Most likely the cause is the miss placement of the head gaskets or stuck...

HI, If that's the case do you think this well work measurements are the same as my radiator and fan set up...

HI, MY BAD...... Lets forget the need for a shroud... I've put 50,000+ miles as a daily driver on the rebuild without a shroud and it never even reached the 1/2 way on the gauge that whole time, until this cam change and head rebuild.. So I must have put the head gaskets on upside down.. Thanks...

HI, I finally got around to checking the timing.. its running around 8* with vacuum hooked up..at idle..650-700. would that cause the overheating?

HI, Crap.. I'd bet I screwed them up...

HI, Mine is a SB. 318 Thermostat is/was new but was a cheap brand. Maybe I should change that to a Stant.. Are the Head gaskets reversible on the Small blocks? I think I looked at them and FIRC they looked the same on both halfs of a gasket. I think I have the old gaskets I'll look

HI, I just had a nightmare over night.. I did have the heads done as well as changing the cam.. Could I have installed the head gaskets upside down?????? Some car guy... I'll put a timing light on it today. I didn't do any jetting change. carb is a 450 QF.

HI, Just did some high traffic with lots of stops and it's boiling in the radiator. gauge went up to like 3/4 of the way.. 185* stat. Maybe I should bite the bullet and get a bigger radiator .. tho I didn't ever have that problem before the cam change? Once it cools down I'm going to check the...

HI, I've decided to work on getting a shroud for it.. There's is one on E bay but the shipping charges are over $100.. I'm going to check the U pull it yards here..

HI, Tho I appreciate all the reply's.. No one has answered my original question.. Well a switch from a 5 blade to a 7 blade fan help in cooling?? Well it move more air?

HI, OK I bought it used so I'm not sure if it had one or not.. I've owned it for almost 10 years got almost 50T on the rebuild, it just had a bad timing gear (plastic factory junk) but I rebuilt it anyway.. It only has 92,000 on the meter.. When I rebuilt there was NO junk or goop in the heads...

HI NO AC. So no shroud then.. As for timing. Not sure? I'll put an light on it tomorrow . When I installed the cam I timed it by vacuum .. got max vacuum and backed it off 2 ".. It runs real strong no missing or pinging at WOT to shift point. its running about 16"vacuum.

HI, No clutch on the fan and no shroud? I don't remember if it came with one when I rebuilt it like 6years ago.. If it had one I'm sure I would have installed it back on...

HI, Since the cam change I'm having a over warming condition over halfway on the stock gauge It used to run less than half way .. Well going from the 5 blade fan to a 7 blade help in keeping it cooler. Radiator has been cleaned

Hi, I don't know what they are called but its the weather stripping the rubs against the window when you roll them up and down that is attache to the bottom of the window opening. inside its felt and on the outside is a rubber "L" shaped rubber that wipes the windows and seals out water. The...

HI, That's what I'm thinking if I rotate the crank one more time and re drop the distributor in I should be Back to the proper TDC..??? Duh....Yeah .. the crank turns twice to one of the cam.. so one more turn should put it right??

HI, Yes there is .. If it installed the cam with the dot at 12 instead of 6. I don't know if I can fix it with just moving the distributor 180*
