wowzers....thats alot of replies......
for one, the fan works, i bypassed it and hooked it to the battery
it spins the right way
for two, i mean that i can dvance the rpms or lower the rpms by adjusting my distributor, hence advancing the timing or retarding it
for three, it is definately not a blown head gasket...i rebuilt the motor by hand and for as long as ive been wrkin on cars i kno im not that stupid
i will try def. getting the radiator flushed, i thnk thats the best thing to do first and your right...if i solve the overheating problem then the rest is easy....
NEW PROBLEM.....
my cars intake manifold does get hot when it overheats..duh....besides that someone said that it was their EGR valve....
my egr valve is connected to the manifold, however the metal tube goes down to the egr filter and was dry rotted out at the bottom of the filter
therfore its not even being used and is not even hooked up to the exhaust......
all i did was j b weld the bottom of it into a uniform shape.
COULD THAT BE THE PROBLEM???
SHOULD I REMOVE IT???
CAN I PLUG IT AT THE MANIFOLD SOMEHOW???
