/6 rebuild advice

I’ll look into that for the oil leak.

160 Thermostat didn’t work. Although according to the gauge the cap popped at 180 ish….

But it didn’t overheat on the dash?

Im going back to Napa tomorrow and am going to put in a 180-195 thermostat.....

I am going to put on a 13-15 pound cap to ensure accuracy.

I am going to add a reservoir which mine is missing....

Because this is the second time it has heated up under load I am going to take it to a radiator shop and have it flushed to see what they find. In town the temp is 130ish and stable so far.

The car is a dog in the acceleration area. I am going to learn all about timing and points next....

I appreciate your guys input as so far. I agree and don't think a rebuild or head gasket is on the table yet.

For the reason of rebuild advice this thread could be closed. IF you guys want to follow my progress I will start a new thread.
