    Thermostat or No Thermostat?

    Pesky zeros always causing problems. LOL

    No Fuel

    I guess I need to finalize this thread. It turned out to be the eccentric wheel broke the tip of the key and was spinning free. The key had a slight nick or ding on the corner when I installed it but I didn't think it would become an issue. I guess at 6400 RPM you will always find the weak link.

    No Fuel

    Still nothing with the cap off.

    No Fuel

    Mechanical. I pulled the fuel line from the tank side and stuck a short piece of fuel line in a gas can and still got nothing, I'm reasonably certain the pump is bad so I ordered a new one. If that doesn't do it I'll pull the timing cover and see what's up, but I don't hear anything weird in...

    No Fuel

    Yeah, but before I dropped $150 I thought I'd see if I was missing something.

    No Fuel

    Thursday night I was at the track and just finished a run and I was heading back to the pit area when the car stumbled and died. It re-fired and died again. I had another racer look into the carb while I cranked and there was no fuel. So I disconnected the fuel line running from the pump to the...

    Thermostat or No Thermostat?

    4.10's And I'll have to check the radiator a little more closely.

    Thermostat or No Thermostat?

    It's a stock pulley and the fan came in a shroud.

    Thermostat or No Thermostat?

    200-210° and then I am usually able to shut it down. This almost always happens at the track in line and by the time I'm at the tree, it's much higher than I really want.

    Thermostat or No Thermostat?

    360 .40 over, stock pistons, Eddie heads, Air Gap manifold, medium Eddie cam, headers aluminum radiator and electric fan. I always have an overheating problem when the temps get over 85°. Not driving down the highway, but as soon as I slow down or wait at a light. The radiator is in excellent...

    What's That Sound?

    I just got back from 3+ weeks in sunny Huntington Beach and the whole time I was gone this issue was on my mind. I got a cheap stethoscope from Amazon and when I got home today fired up the car and started sticking it where I thought it was coming from. Nothing in the valve train that I can...

    What's That Sound?

    OK, I got some time and replaced the rocker arm, re-lashed all the valves again and took off the dust cover for the trans and looked for any issues with the torque converter...nothing changed. However, when I start the car the tap/knock isn't there. It comes in after about 30 seconds of running...

    They were on there when I bought it, but they appear to be Proform.
