Post some pictures of the set up, radiator front and back, water pump and drive belts, fan, anything related to cooling. Could be something you...
Does the car have a heater in it? If so, have tried running it on high to see if the motor temp comes down? Have you tried pure water or a water...

If its HEI, the small green and yellow wires do go bad from the pickup coil to the module. The vacuum advance is always pulling on them, that...
Was the engine tight before you started it? Thick old school rings, or thin modern rings? Rough cylinder hone, or extra fine? Most new...
I fixed a GTO with a rough over rich idle with one of the MisterGasket round regulators. I never checked the pressure, just turned it down till...
Thanks for information, I will change my schedule to one year.
I have a question, does oil go bad from setting? If the vehicle is parked in a climate controlled garage or low humidity climate, and is...
I do the same on the HEI's only use alittle longer piece so it gets screwed down with the original mounting screw. I also slot the hole so I can...

As a safety note, PULL the coil wire off if you are going to crank the engine over with plugs out. A friend was having the same issues of...
A 1000 rpm speedometer cable will read 60 miles per hour, that is the standard calibration number for nearly all speedometers. Its the rear axle...
Accelerating around a corner lowers the temp??? Nothing about going around a corner will change the cooling system, it's the higher rpm. The...
The wrap is pretty normal on O2s. The 10 you are seeing is likely right, if the gauge moves higher at idle, then you know its reading. Mine was...
I run the same tire sizes with no issues. I changed the leaf springs, front went down, steering got loose, I changed the caster ( gave it one...

I'd want a close up of the seal around the transmission, bet its really noisy and hot to drive. Almost looks like a fake piece just setting on...
Those Moroso springs is why I had to chain the car down to the trailer, they were really long!
Whats the vacuum gauge reading at idle?
I chained a car down to a trailer, then used a jack under the a-arm with a heavy chain around the spring tied to the oposite frame rail for safety...
As mentioned, original GM Tri-powers used end carbs with no idle circuits, and extra thick throttle blades that close 100%. Yours are still...
The Chevrolets will interchange between all the trucks, if that helps.
The only way fluid should bleed back out of a caliper is if air enters the caliper or the fluid can pull the piston with it.
Is the master cylinder higher then the caliper bleed holes? Pull the residules off and see how it acts or pull the guts out of them.

SimpleGreen will take it off.
I would bet the frame will distort some with out the glass, so your trial fit will not show much. My '37's frame was pretty flimsy till I had the...
So I finally had time and gathered all the parts need to finish this up. I purchased a Vintage Air 17", 6 blade, steel fan, a 6.25" water pump...
Bent stud will keep the wheel from fitting, will the drum come off?
