Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
I've got some jabsco in a gallon at my shop. I'll take it there and just pour some on and see what happens. If it ignites in flames, I can deal with it easier there. lol. That's a good idea. I'm going to try it out.
Well, I removed the T-stat to see if it was messed up with all these random overheats that keep occuring, ( and I mean random, no particular thing sets it off) and I always replace the T-stat anyway since it's cheap. I'm glad I popped the housing apart because I discovered a curiosity.

I'm very sure that I put a stud here and bolted it... sure enough a flashlight verifies that some of the stud is still in there and the rest broke off. In two years this has not occurred - guess it was tightened down too much or something. It was a brand new stud.
Well now I get to extract that and put a new one in - no big deal I hope - as it shouldn't be rusted in a year... I hope.
I also finally put on the new Blow-off-valve in. It was sitting in a box for a while neglected, even though it's just a 2 bolt operation. It took about 5 minutes...
Eventually i'll have time to mask up all the wiring in the back and finish painting the engine bay, but not today... I started the car and ran it for a bit. I always check after I do anything just to make sure it's going to start the next time i need. Have not driven it yet- that will wait till tomorrow.
