Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Pulled the radiator out in order to fabricate a radiator shroud that will closely duplicate the factory style shroud (after warming up to the normal 190 degrees, the coolant temperature at idle slowly rises to 200, 210, then 220-don't know how much higher it wants to go).
I pulled off the crankshaft pulley in the meantime because at idle I noticed a slight wobble with the drive belts down there.
I took the pulley to a shop with a lathe and the kid there fine-tuned the pulley so hopefully it got straightened out (I had hi-jacked the pulley from a core 340 I had purchased because it lined up better with the way the previous owner had re-installed the power steering pump and alternator).
