"Valiant Effort" - Wintermute's '73
It's been a while, progress has been slow (not that I'm in a rush!)
I've done a few things:
- Adjusted the valves: wow what a difference! I doubt that had ever been done on this engine!
- Replaced the intake gasket to cure a cold weather misfire at startup: It helped, but it didn't completely cure the problem :banghead:
- Bought a radiator expansion bottle from Ply30 (thanks man!)
- bought a replacement radiator (Rock Auto), the original had a crack and a very slow leak, caused by some sort of minor accident damage that bent the core support on the passenger side!
Now I need to straighten out the core support in order to install my new radiator. Nevermind the fact that the old spring clip on one of the heater hoses decided to quit during my intake gasket test drive.
