Jerry, would the fact that I am at sea level in Houston have any effect on mixture? I can run it at 1 to 1 and 1/4 turns out on the primaries, but it likes 1.5-2 a lot better and the plugs look better as well.

I noticed going back and reading all this thread that initially with the pic of your radiator that you said it was a 3 core(post 12) and later a 2 core (post 68). Is it a 1 inch tube or a 1 1/4 tube and how many fins per inch???

Yes, I am using a relay as well, tied to a 180* thermo electric switch.
I just corrected that post #12, that should have been 2-row, thanks for catching that. The PRC I have is a 2-row radiator with 1" rows. As for fins-per-inch, there are 16 individual fins, or 8 "V"s in one inch. How does that compare?
Thanks for the help and advice.
