Thermastat
#6
I found my problem. It was taking for ever in a day to reach operating temp. Thought maybe the thermastat was to cool.
I have this motor in my k5 blazer and did not realize the importance of the orifice in the radiator for the surge tank bleed hose. So i made a small orifice (the same size as a factory radiator) and this morning it came right up to 210 and I had heat within a couple miles.
I had my radiator completely blocked off and still couldn't get heat. Now the radiator is unblocked and the hoses routed correctly with the proper orifice and everything is great.
