RE: OVERHEATING!!!!

maybe you have alot of buildup in the system that's not letting heat transfer w/o a high flowrate w/ the coolant

RE: OVERHEATING!!!!

Are you sure you installed the thermostat correctly, with the bulb side (the one with the spring in it) down?

Original engine?
Carb or fuel injected?
Was it converted?
