By the way, gator, I flushed the radiator and it made a positive difference in my car. Who would have thought such a simple task would have made such positive impact on my cars running temp. I also gotta to do little things on it I had been putting off. Like the right head lamp wouldnt come up (it would get stuck half way) and the bulb was nt working and the orange bulb was out. So I fiex all of that and changed a *** inside i broke with my knuckles while shifting.

While under the car i noticed how much other shhhhtuff i need to work on. Little time consuming things. Im also in the process of ordering a new fan set up and shroud to see if I can get the temps down.

Yup, i'm stuck working today and tomorrow too, just finished my first job, about to call in for another, but it's been really slow today, so they might not have any and I might get to go home for a few hours, cuz it took 2 hours just to get my first job!

I am off today, I worked through the weekend so.........

Yeah his 60' is why my car is going to an automatic. I am getting antzy to start ordering **** for it today!!! I had the Man's car the other day and I will say shifting gets old it's so much fun to drive shiftin with no clutch.

I guess once I buy the converter it's downhill from there I can't back out of order my TH400. Can't wait it's gonna be a sprayaholic.

If you are having issues with temps and radiator fluid make sure to check to see if the coolant is being exposed to exhaust gas. You can get a tester at like autozone. If the test is positive you may have lifted the heads and blown out a gasket. Mine had this issue.
