^^^ I'll make sure to check the ground for the front end harness. It's supposed to be grounded on the radiator support, so I don't see any reason it would be messed with if the headlight panel was...

How much idle vacuum are you making at 110 LSA? That way I can predict what the 112 can make. And does the EFI handle it well?

Hey Poncho gang,

Do 1st gen birds had larger radiator fittings than 2nd gen? Because they fit my car just fine.

The tower clamps I got from Ames are pretty decent, and I swapped my radiator to a CC as well.

Just don't use them on smaller diameter stuff, especially the 5/8" heater hose. They won't seal.

No idea why he would say that other than perhaps the cam is too hard on factory valve springs, though I doubt it. Lol

If it was running R-12 with all the original equipment, it would've probably been cooling very well. Those old R-12 systems would freeze you out of the car and the components were best suited for...

Glad to know it worked! You probably had some tiny capillary leak in the timing cover - overall, no big deal and the perfect application for a stop leak product. I'd feel bad using one too, but even...
