Car won't run in Az......

[azfordman]

Thanks Bob. My first step will be a phenolic spacer....if I cannot find one locally, so far I have only found aluminum ones, I will machine one from wood to see if that solves the problem. The engine temperature runs around 90-100 Celsius, so the motor itself seems to stay cool enough. The issue is the car will die while driving, 30-40 mph...up to this point I have been able to coast to a safe spot to let it cool down. With a bag of ice dumped on the manifold I was able to drive it all the way home with no problem. Without the ice it would have died at least a dozen times considering the distance.
