Gt-40 Cooling (or Lack Thereof).

[BLACKJACK]

HEY, GUYS,

THANKS VERY MUCH TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS.

IT PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THE INCREDIBLE BRAIN POWER AVAILABLE ON THIS FORUM.

MY GAME PLAN - FOR NOW - IS AS FOLLOWS:

1. ATTEMPT TO EVACUATE THE AIR FROM THE SYSTEM USING A VACUUM PUMP.

2. INSTALL A DAVIES-CRAIG ELECTRIC WATER PUMP AS A SUPPLEMENTARY PUMP. ("JACK LEGGED" INTO THE FRONT COMPARTMENT INITIALLY - IF IT WORKS A MORE ELABORATE INSTALLATION WILL FOLLOW).

3. CHECK THE ENGINE TIMING AND SPECS - THOUROUGHLY.

4. REMOVE THE "BRAND NEW" ALUMINUM RADIATOR AND HAVE IT FLOW TESTED ON A TEST BENCH. WHILE I'M AT IT I'LL HAVE AN AIR BLEED VALVE INSTALLED AT THE TOP AND A DRAIN VALVE INSTALLED AT THE BOTTOM.

5. IF ALL OF THE ABOVE FAILS MY PLAN IS TO DRIVE THE "FRIGGIN" THING OFF OF THE 14TH STREET BRIDGE INTO THE POTOMAC RIVER. THAT'LL COOL THE SUCKER DOWN.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL,

Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,

BLACKJACK
