@ayilar Yes, I did have a shroud on the completed job. My problem was trying to find a replacement 26" radiator IIRC. I ended up finding a local place that dipped/repaired radiators. Now I am trying to get the same thing done on my Ambo radiator but that place has closed.

lol......I'm glad I read the entire thread, it was very entertaining. Also was an excellent reminder of the camaraderie we have here that one is hard pressed to find on other forums. We were reminded of a few things as well: - Stan can be provoked to use foul language just like most of the...

You forgot rule #3: If it's not a long time trusted name in auto parts assume it's improperly made. I have seen countless times when a 'new' brand comes out and claims their product is a perfect fit and it is anything but that. My water pump is my most recent example......has raised areas...

He can easily check that by feeling the upper hose......if the stat isn't opening the hose shouldn't get hot, maybe lukewarm but they don't normally conduct enough to make it hot to the touch w/o the flow. And yes, I know i'm real late to the party on this one and it's prob fixed...

it was a great ride, ended up me and one of the boys went.....evenings like tonight in a convertible, well, i wouldn't trade them for anything. Needs to be like this more often.

yes, and wear my hat sideways, pants hanging off my rear, 2 lbs of gold around my neck

I believe so, yes.....it was 80 today here and she held right where it should be, moved up a bit in traffic but that the norm...... back in a bit, going out for a post dinner ride with the kids

just had her out again......did a bit of running around, car ran right where it should be. And of course today is a perf day for a convertible! left her out in the gar with the top down as the kids will want to go out when they get home. Carb still needs work but perf driveable as-is. The...

thank you Matt......at least someone I can count on in this forum! Dave--------what did you do, move the polara outside so you can store one of those new junkers inside? I'd like to see your tag on that car, they are pretty close to being identical twins.

she does need one.......at least 1/2 hr straight to see how the cooling holds up under pressure of continued driving you wouldn't want a white car to be seen in your driveway now, would you?

not as of right now, had not had it out since Sunday but might take her for a spin tomorrow afternoon if i get a few minutes

and increase shoplifting. It wouldn't bother me if the one here closed up ,all they did was kill america's downtowns

www.peopleofwalmart.com don't do it, you'll see why once you check out this site

Stan getting tolerant? Must be getting old or just finally got so exasperated you are giving up.

tank is working fine........all 3 times it was a bit more than half full after shutting down hot, a few hrs later it was under 1/4 full and a bit spilled out of the cap, it was so high. good idea on the heat though, i'll try to run it tomorrow.

that's ok, shouldn't lose much removing them anyway. Naturally you guys didn't bother ragging on that on spite until after i had it back together! At least i am doing what I usually do - leaving the car in better condition that when I got it. Maybe i'll let it for the new owner to replace.

it stays pretty much in the middle or slightly below the middle. Dunno what temp that is as the gauge does not have numbers on it, prob between 180-200 if i had to guess. I haven't taken any pics of it, but here's what i did: ran the housing across a pc of sandpaper like Matt suggested. I...

don't know abt that........kinda flip flopping, i want to somewhat, but on the other hand I have a basically unmolested car, most of the time that would command me to leave as-is. and then there is the problem of finding linkage and the correct column. what shape is your console in?

no, the cheapest i ever saw it list for was $6000......and apparently he is in for a surprise if the current owner is still lying abt 'not seeing any frame rust'. Maybe he has never looked under the car. He knows exactly what it looks like underneath though, he saw that pic on the dock. I...

maybe now it will get worked on and brought back to life geez, for 2K i would have been a contender, leaves a lot of $$ for parts
