Well I put everything back together. Made new upper hoses which provided a less restrictive flow. No Thermostat.

50/50 mix, new belt, bleeder on the intake manifold. Filled it with the car up on jack stands, the front up at least a foot off the ground. Checked fluid lever after bringing it off the jacks and it was fine.

Idled for about 10 minutes with a few revs and worked itself up to about 150. Seemed to raise quicker after each rev session.

Water pump inlet hose was just warm. Drivers side of rad was warm (normal).

I got in the car and brought the tach up to 2700-2800. Within three minutes or less it worked its way up to 220 and I shut it down. Opened the bleeder on the intake and no air.


I'm stymied. Other than pulling the intake and heads I am at wits end!!!
