    Gaba......how about a over heating update...............

    My little parts chaser 91  tried to leave me on the road last week with an over heating problem. The radiator/block was so full of rust water wouldn't drain out of the petcock(can I say that on here?!) on the lower radiator.
                             Removed the thermostat (clogged with rust!)
                             Jewged a piece of war in the  petcock hole (now I KNOW that will be censored )                                                       
                               and back flushed it
                             Filled it full of white vinegar and drove it like that a couple days
                             Drained that (looked like the red river). 
                              Gonna drive it a while as is and drain again before cold weather.

    What about your pony? You ever get it figgered out?!

    A little preventive maintenance through the years goes a long way.  Even if it is just a chebby.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    6Sally6!!! That is right! I havent updated in a while!! the radiator is in , all clean, and flushed, and working.

    I havent had a chance to take it out for a ride yet.. Its very LOW on power.. I messed up something on the carb / timing when doing the radiator thing..

    Anyway..

    I will post some pics here shortly.. :D

     

    If it aint broke, I have'nt tried to "Fix" it yet!

    Be sure to relocate those tranny lines before you drive it. That stuff is highly flammable!
