Response to Lady,

1) I shut it down at 240 last night but it has gotten up to 250 and boiling over. The gauge works properly, the fans are suppose to come on at 190 and as soon as the gauge hits 190 they come on.

2) See above response for fan flow, it is advertised. Good test, left fender meaning drivers? My original one did not have a clutch.

3) My guess, never. I have never done it. Block plugs? You mean freeze plugs? How would I pull those?

4) I am confused on what you are trying to tell me here "The stock water pump should be able to maintain 192. Simply cutting power to the electric may then just cause a restriction."

5) Yeah, at the most the rad is a year old. With changing everything 100 times I have yet to see any signs of crap coming out of the cooling system.

6) Timing that is a good questions. It was set this last time when I changed the cam but the timing plate has three marks. I guessed and used the middle one (I think), So let me ask you, did I time it right? The vacum was off when I timed it, that is correct? I am going to check compression on each cylinder and vacum some time this week.

7) Vacum advance, how do I check to see if this is working correctly?

8) How do I check fuel mixture without a gauge?

I appreciate any and all ideas, keep them coming it will give me plenty to check.

Thanks Guys!!
