1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto

Picked up my rad today. Cost a lot less than they quoted... Bonus. That rarely happens. Installed it with a new thermostat and rad cap and filled it up with new coolant.

Took it for a 40 minute drive and it didn't even come up to operating range on the gauge. Looks like success. That's where it was when I first ran it. Will take it for a longer drive this weekend and see what it does.

Think I need to bump the timing a degree or two. Not liking this setting. A little harder to start cold and RPMs drop more in gear and almost stalls. Didn't do that before, but that's only a couple minutes to tweak.

Almost there ...
