Good mornin guys,,yesterday went like this,,, got the oil changed,, had to be done anyway,,,struggled through walmart,, got the oil,,
Start engine,, taste water blowing from exuast,, not antifreeze,, with rad cap off, watched,,water did flow as the stat opened, and as I brought the rpm's up the level sucked down,, put cap back on still the 13lb,, got the 16, but need to build a tank,,
without hesitating the car climbed right up to 230,,,stock pulley, stock fan,,
I completly removed the manifold heater lines from the loop,,, still got hot,,
this time my Dad is here,, wants to know if the timings to far advanced,,at idle it is at 6degree advanced,, could this be to much??? if I lower it the cam sounds great, but to get the car to idle, I'll have to bring up the idle, if I go to far the venturie blades will start to crack past the port for the vacume advance and add at idle, the idle mixture screws, once you get them so far out ,they dont change mixture, the tips of the screws are already clear of the idle down tubes,,
Today is small pulley back on with flex fans,,
Also I talked to the rad people, US Radiator,, he asked if I have a open space between my rad support and the grill,,some cars have a plastic or rubber cover,I have seen that,, He said that was so the engine didn't start a convection process,,(circulating heat over the rad support to the rad,) I fabbed up some cardboard blocking,,didn't make a difference,
