the main reason for having a tstat is for 2 reasons.. # 1 maintaining a steady engine temp for proper lubrication. 195 is good. a little higher is fine. too low is not good. that is why you should never run your engine without a tstat unless you are just testing. # 2 is to get heat for your nuts...
its no wonder the man is tired. a member for 5 years. over 31000 posts. that works out to 17 posts a day every day for the last 5 years if my math is correct. wow.
if u dont know where the oil fill cap is then how are you adding oil to the engine? if you are not then the leaks are very minimal. first of all i would powerwash the entire engine. dry it off by driving it and then keep an eye on it for suspected leaks and address them as needed. remember one...

i usually use my ears for timing. rev engine till about 2000 rpm advance distributor till engine starts to ping and then back it off a little. then a snatch hair more. works just fine .
i couldnt agree more. maybe he works late. but getting back to cloned cars i think its the motors that matter. maybe that was a slant 6 car. now its a 340 6 pack. that is what cloning is all about if u ask me. a slant 6 cuda aint worth a **** but a 6 pack cuda is. otherwise y do it. also the...
just buy a willwood setup. you wont be sorry. spindles are drilled for both 4 and 4.5 inch pattern. no pissing around. put the studs in the other holes later when you upgrade to better wheels. awesome setup. i also went with a rear disc setup when i installed an 8.75 pay the extra now and you...
i have p235 60 r 15,s on my 65 barracuda. had the same outer scrubbing issue. added one leaf and lifted it about 1 inch. getting used to the look. any more lift than that would make it look too italian. lol
