Okay so as the world turns.

Gee Box monkeys messed with putting in new thermostat and in the process returned my car about a gallon and a half low on coolant. Learned of this when deciding to investigate by burping the system.

Car now is running between 190 and 210 when I get on it. Still seems high. I adjusted timing to 12 and 36 and idle on their 560 cfm holley avenger. Still on the fence with this carb.

Also while having car jacked up to burp coolant system I said to myself" Did these monkeys even refill ball joints on A-arms when getting them back from powder coaters. Nope! It took two sticks of grease.

While I was there I checked Tie Rods....no grease! Holy crap.

Fuse has blow twice now on elctric fan. Not sure what the heck is going on there. Anyone?

Car now is tracking straight and riding well at 80 to 90 mph but honeslty not thrilled.

Lastly, one of the main requests while under there care was to tighten alan screws around steering shaft. Nope!
