Car was at cool good temp when I got home. Put car in park and slowly the temp raised. When I replaced the hose and thermostat I put in new premixed 50/50.
I am going to take a drive tonight and when I get home pop the hood and see if that keeps the temp down. If it does I may need a shroud...
Just replaced themostat and installed flexible ridged lower radiator hose to solve cooling issue and it works great idling in the drive way with the cap off. It comes up to temp and the themostat opens and everything is fine.
I go for a short drive with the cap on and everything is great...
I have put two cables in and the way you have to route the cable around the headers forces the routing to have sharp turn which I think is causing the binding.
I am done with the cable shifter.
Removing B&M cable shifter. Keeps binding. Former owner of my car gave me the column linkage in a box. Converting back to column. The shifter bound up at a cruise in last night and luckily another person there had tools and a floor jack so I disconected the cable had someone else start the car...
PerTronics D142700 Flame Thrower Distributor
This distributor solved all my issues. The 750 Edelbrock carb now works great. Set timing at 12 initial with 24 mechanical for total of 36. I also am now running a vacum advance. Very nice.
It is true! Timing first. Carb second.
I quit 03/29/07 at 9:59 pm and have never looked back after smoking for 31 years. It will be 4 years tomorrow. I feel better and gained some weight which is a small price to pay.
I have a deck of cards near the coffee table and played solitaire when I got the urge for a smoke. Wore out two...
I just bought 2 cases of 20W50 (grey bottle) at $2.49 / quart with the instant at counter discount good through 04/01/11.
Total with tax $63.60
Good deal if you like this oil.
Bought a PerTronics D142700 Flame Thrower Distributor. Can't wait to install it and adjust once it is spring (that won't be until April/May!).
Neat distributor, you can adjust the mechanical rate and limit without taking the distributor apart and it is two wires. Should work great with my MSD...
I bought a Edelbrock 650 #1805 on ebay for $303 new including shipping and guess what the seller is out of stock. You guys have talked me into holding off on buying a carb until spring when I can play with the distributor. I know FBO sells recurved distributors.
I have 3:73 gears. The engine was rebuilt 5,000 miles ago by the prior owner. I have the engine shop receipts which looks like everything was done
right.
The vacuum advance has never been hooked up so I think I will try it this spring when the car comes out of storage before I put the new...
