Blackjack,
If you have a heater core in the car it sets higher than the radiator. You could be trapping lots of air in there. Make sure
you open the heater valve before trying to fill it. If you don't
the air stays up in the heater core. I think the best thing to
do is buy the vacuum fill device and make sure all of the air
has been purged. If the problem persists then you most likely
have a bad water pump. If the car runs the same as it did
before it started overheating then I wouldn't worry to much
about the timing thing. Don't forget about the thermosthat.
Before I install a new one, I drop it into a cup of boiling
water to see if it functions properly. I have bought brand new
ones that did not open. Before I put the thermstat in I
tke a garden hose and put in down the opening and turn the
water on full blast untill it comes out the hose that attaches to
the thermostat neck.
Jack, you gotta get that car to the fling ! So far as I know it's
just Wayne, Jay, and me with GT40s soooo we need more
not less.
Now somebody out there in cobraland must live near you
with a good place to work on a forty. Gee, who would pass
up an oppurtunity like that.
Keep at it BJ, you'll get it.
