Glad to see you enjoying it!

Glad you were able to build the vision you had in your head and getting to enjoy it.
Roll on

Thank you! I still have to put the quarter panel boards on the inside and do the headliner but that’s gonna be a while. Got some home projects that are taking up all the money

What make you think that adjustable A-arms will fix your vibration?

[64speed]

Pinion angle is off a little

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

AKA pinion angle at the rear u-joint of driveshaft for anyone not sure what's up.
Transmission yoke supposed to angle below horizon , axle pinion angle above horizon.

Just thought I’d show off a little bit. Car is running great. Gonna put the adjustable control arms on as soon as I’m able but it’ll be awhile because I am facing another surgery soon. No matter what I do I can’t get the pic to orient right. Please someone rotate it

Cropped and rotated.

Looking great!

Perfect stance.

One of my favorite cars.

So I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic yesterday for about 30 mins. This is my take away and any help would be appreciated. My car runs at the thermostat (180) or lower as long as I am moving. In the traffic it got up to 203 before I got antsy and turned the AC off and rolled down the windows. As soon as I did that the temp started dropping, I mean immediately. I started moving again so I never got to see just how far it would fully drop but it was obvious it was under control. I know 203 isnt overheating but I didnt want to find out what my upper limit is on a 4 lane highway. I am gonna take it and see if its charged properly in case thats whats taxing the engine so heavily but short of that does anyone have any suggestions?

Running A/C introduces heat (a lot) in front of your radiator. If the A/C was blowing constant cold, it's probably charged correctly. The early cars have a serious disadvantage compared with later years. That is, small frontal area of the radiator. Making it thicker is diminishing returns. By the time the air hits the rear rows, it's already saturated with heat.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

If you have electric radiator fan (idunno)
They are set to come on and run anytime and all time while a/c is working - in most all passenger cars.
Most have 2 speed fans - and will run on high speed while a/c is working.

In case yours is just set to run by thermo control - or just one speed.
fwiw

[64speed]

No I have a clutch fan

[64speed]

IF I decided to put an electric fan on the condenser alone how do I want it configured? Pushing or pulling

What was your idle rpm when this was happening?

Good question. And where is your vacuum advance connected, full time or ported?

I seriously doubt you can fit an e-fan as a puller since the existing fan probably takes up most of the room. So, pusher.

But, an e-fan may bring on other problems, like electrical/charging system, especially if it's stock.

203 isn't overheating by the way. That's about what mine runs w AC on in stop & go, 195/205.

EDIT: And it would be best to run some kind of a controller, PWM type preferable.

Right at 850-900. 203 is just where I cut it off I really think it would go higher. I guess if I get trapped I’m just out of AC if the creep doesn’t stop.

I am connected to full manifold. My alternator is 105 amp.
