Been a while since I posted. We cruise the old girl short trips and some longer. She was having some water temper heating up issue she would creep up even with several different hi flow Robert Shaw 160 and 180 T stats besides the $500 aluminum Summit HP radiator and the factory AC shroud and clutch fan with replaced HD clutch. Seems that the idea of a changing clutch fan came up and I put a 68 400 Firebird OEM power flex fan I had and it fixed it ! Did new door seals on front 2 doors also badly needed. During T stat games I also did the nice Flowcooler WP with blue anodized fancy impeller. Did a homemade version of a little shift kit on the TH400 and replaced the governor. She shifts pretty hard now at WOT not harsh but solid. Picked up some OEM front discs setup off a 70 Bonne to be upgraded soon. Did a 79 Z28 gearbox swap and a 1.125" Addco front sway bar with poly bushings, that is real nice, Had to swap early PS pump pressure valve to a higher pressure 70's one for GB swap. Next is to charge AC !
