    no brakes pedal to the floor. NEED HELP ASAP

    This maybe a dumb suggestion, but if it was going soft over a two week period did you check you wheels cylinders for weepage, or look for anyother signs of a fluid leak. No sence replacing everything also you look at everything, you could have a pin hole leak in a line as well, your fluid must...

    Pic of my new Gauge Set up

    I'd like to get in on this thread too. My Temp gauge is wonky at best and the oil pressure gauge is pegged. I'd like to replace both, can we go with mechanical gauges (anything extra required for these) or must we stay with electrical guages? and I'll be looking for a good place to purchase the...

    New engine, Coolant issues

    When you have your rad full and the cap off do you see bubbles coming up in the rad when you increase your RPM's? Manifold or head gasket is allowing air to be sucked into the engine would be my guess.

    Overheating and now too cold?

    Yep one of the little tricks I picked up from you guys here in the forums. For whatever reason if I don't the car sometimes will get all the way to "L" before it drops back, however if I use the AC to bring it on sooner the engine runs cooler. The engine hasn't boiled over in a very long time...

    Overheating and now too cold?

    I wish! Mine has never run that cold! I even have to run the A/C to keep it below the "M" and I've got a new rad & hoses, plus a tranny cooler & new water pump! As for the stock gauge its a POS and is all over the place. I've got to get an after market guage set up asap

    All back together! Took the heads to the shop and found one warped by a several thousand, but everything looked good so we just decked the heads to true the surface, and put it back together, seems to be ok. Still running a tad warmer then I'd like but it is doing what it should.
