I know what you are thinking, why don't these people read down to the older topics because we just discussed this a week ago?!

Well I have, and I have tried everything that was suggested to other people.

I think I covered the basics so far. Radiator seems fine (4 core), I have the shroud on and the fan is 50/50 in the shroud, I added an electric fan to see if it would help. Tested with thermostats from 160-195 degrees and tried without one. Made sure the timing was correct (I think [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] ) Water pump checks out good, plates are good and properly seated. Replaced gaskets on the water pump, all the ones for the timing chain and fuel pump area. Don't know a single thing about carbs (so I didn't touch it....(rochester 2 jet) Even added a sepperate tranny cooler for the hell of it. And the headers dont glow [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

My guess is maybe the carb since I am clueless in that department and someone suggested the head gaskets but wouldnt fluids mix and be a clear sign of that?

I know someone somewhere out there has the answer I need....

Thanks MUCH,

BTW - The car is a 64 Tempest with a 68 Pontiac 350 in it.
