Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good morning! Yeah it runs, and not long after that video it started to overheat either cuz the damn Summit thermostat only opens less than a quarter inch. By then it had been running 15 minutes so we shut it off and let it cool for 15 minutes while we took the thermostat out and threw the shroud on quick. Then it was fine. So instead of getting the 30-minute or the 10-10-10 break-in it got the 15-15-15. Oughta be fine. Carb won't idle down with the vacuum advance hooked up tho. Set everything up at 600 RPM and it's fine, then put the vacuum advance on and it goes to 800. Every port on the carb has vacuum at idle. Gotta figure that out. I told the Chevy guru I know a distributor guru. Put a longer video on Youtube.


Either cuz the thermostat doesn't open all the way or cuz the shroud wasn't on, that is. Who else ever put an engine 18 inches from the fan?
