Yes I do agree the shroud is playing a part in it. She is in hibernation for the winter. I do plan on making a complete new shroud for her this...
I checked the headgaskets are on correctly If coolant is just circulating through the front what would be the cause of that?
The msd distributor helped quite a bit. Still gets hot when it sits in traffic or lines at car shows and it's super hot and humid out. I just...
Also I called the speed shop and there stuck on an airflow problem at idle. They seem to think if it was overbored or had headgasket issues it...
Ok. So to put an end to all the timing issues I sucked it up and switched to Msd Pro billet and blaster 2 coil. Now I know exactly what timing...
Good idea. Update. I took it for it's first drive and it gets to temp fine and stays around 190 while driving just like before. If you let it sit...

I checked apparently my Goodyear hoses don't need the spring anymore. They are more rigid that the old ones But that doesn't mean it's not...
Also good idea on hoses I'll double check next time I have her out
Also factory shrouds are pretty much only finger guards.I figured this was a better option. Thanks everyone keep the suggestions coming and we...
Fan is a 17" all steel Derale I agree those flex fans are death traps. There's about a 1/2"-1" gap around to top and sides between edge of fan...
On original assembly I was present for the machine shop to verify tdc on balancer. And I did the pencil method on setting initial timing before...
Temp gauge is cheaper sunpro gauge I don't have a infrared gun but I'm Confident it's within 5degs of accurate. The fitech comes with a new ele...
