That's where I'm at right now...I've had the timing advanced and liked the way it ran, but it pinged. Will try advancing it again today. FWIW,...
It's a pristine rebuilt block; no cracks - no leaks. coolant does not bubble when cap is off. to the single carb point... fabbed up a pair of...
Guys - 1) rad is a very fat 4 (maybe 5?) core unit. 2) Pusher fan. 3) hand fabbed track nose - very open. 4) One side has a 180 degree stat,...
Ray - You da man! How are you feeling these days? You were under the weather about a month back - trust you are feeling better. Any day...
rad cap is about 1" higher than the inlets to the upper tank. After it boiled over (5 miles of runnin) I I pulled the upper pipes; the water...
Surface area is right; I'm thinkin' the 4" thick core ain't allowin' enough air thru. If I run with the fan on all the time - it's still runs...
Nahh...I've got vent holes in the T-stats to allow air bleed. 180 degree stats. this is a 14 X 18 4 core rad - and the proximity to the engine...
Guys - the maiden run of the Track Roadster didn't go all that well... 1) Overheated in 5 miles of runnin'. with the cap on tight, it wants...

More pix here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=188054 the part that 'gets' me is that Zach hammered that grille shell...
this is just a guess - but I'd say '64. I had a 215 under the bench for a number of years (a '63) and it had a steel gearset - if I recall right....

Pretty cool, man. Your writing skills continue to improve, too! You're an easy read - it's good to see the Alliance take off!
Larry - The boss has a kick-ass top of the line camera, but I'm too retarded to be able to use it and resize the pix to upload to p-bucket....
