Brian recently sent me the O ring for the aftermarket thermostat housing for free. It's made by Metco. That damn O ring was not available at any of the parts stores. Just thought I would mention it. As others have said, always use a credit card or Pay Pal.

If interested, Summit has one, $550, ship date 10/23/23

Sorry. Long gone.

I would guess they are symmetrical but when my driver seat became uncomfortable I slipped in a thin layer of foam from Joanne Fabrics. Not a hard job. You will need a hog ring pliers and maybe some new hog rings.

Pretty car! Try unplugging the MAF and see if that helps. Is it the original MAF or do you have a translator?

Hi Chuck!

Here's an update. I jiggled the radiator, picked it up and put it back down. For some reason I was able to bolt down the top plate now. The radiator doesn't fit flush to the top plate like the stock one but it works. The top plate meets the radiator, if that makes sense. The fans still don't...

I realize this thread is 2 years old. Went to install my CC radiator today. Huge pita! The damn thing is too tall and too thick. Removed rubber bushings under and over the radiator. It's still too tall. Can't bolt down top plate. There is also no room on bottom plate to slip the dual spal fans...

If you are getting popping/sputtering try closing your plug gap to .028.

Better late than never!

I always know when it's time to change the fuel filter. Gas mileage drops off big time. I just installed my crank sensor on my motor with motor on engine stand. I use a feeler gauge. .020" clearance. Its still a 2 person job!

A usable block is around $700. I think a sleave is around $400 (I could be wrong) so the block isn't worth much. Unported stock heads are maybe $300/pair.

If you install a double roller chain, don't use a tensioner.

Sounds like the crank sensor. My car did the same thing....until I changed it.

Thanks. I went ahead and bought ARP bolts from Summit.
