    Classic over carburetion problem?

    Just to add something. When I backed out of the garage tonight I didn't mean to but I even layed a patch then. Just so not use to the immediate throttle response. It's a good thing I was lined up well with the doors. Would have been slapstick if the garage doors went flying :lol:

    Classic over carburetion problem?

    Update: Had a mechanical secondary 750 Holley Brawler DP installed and it's like I'm driving a different car. When I stomp on it and it will now do a burn out no problem and gets a big chirp in in second.

    I've got a dumb question. How do they rate a non electric fan that is hooked up to your engine? It would be spinning at different rpms constantly. Unless they all rate them at a certain rpm?

    Well I just got my 17" Derale fan. There's is no way this thing is coming apart and it should blow pretty well in the shroud. If they think it's too small or whatever we'll get something better

    I was worried about the main bearings but I guess they would be okay? One vehicle I saw where I guy just kept driving and driving and they just melted away. The crank shaft was a mess. It was a GMC suv from the early 80s

    It's Prestone premix. No I'm never driving around in that boiling hot stuff again and that good fan is on it's way. I'll get the shroud made at the shop when it comes. The reason why I took it out at night was because I just wanted to make sure I didn't screw anything up and I didn't want to...

    Just to mention a magnum motor that so hot it almost quit running was a 318 2000 3/4 Dodge Ram from work. The water pump went and there was no way I could pull off any where. It got really really hot when I final could pull over..It was fine after the new pump was put in. I thought I melted it :(

    Stuck in traffic 340 got up to 220

    It didn't boil over and the cap didn't leak and when I drove on after an hour it seemed perfectly fine. This engine is bran new with about 500 miles on it and cost about 12 grand...Canada..So this is why I'm freaking out a bit

    Hi everybody: I never drive my car in this kind of heat, probably 95' F but I was coming home from the shop. Things were okay going along at high 180s until I got stuck at a light the last mile from home when it got up to 220. I was lucky though to pull over and shut down in another trailer...
