    overheating????

    I had this problem last week. I just did a full flush, back flush on my car this weekend. I also installed a new thermostat and housing. and now the car stays at 180* no matter how I drive it. You might try doing that, so you dont have to spend all the money on a new radiator right now.

    WTF! Fuel leaking!

    Found a puddle of fuel under my car today. So I pushed it out of the garage. Then I find the reason. Fuel wasnt pouring out, but it was coming out pretty fast. Its never done this before?!?! :shrug: any idea what might be causing it? Right now I've got it closed off, as it probably should be.

    :notnice: Well if you want to look like an escort go ahead and make the change, but dont destroy the parts so that someone that wants a good looking front end and needs the parts can have them. But what should do is just leave the car as it is and preserve it!

    IS this normal??!!!! Thermostat/waterneck!??!

    well tues or wed I added very little of the dexcool stuff because my coolant level was a little low. But I dont think that it could happen that quickly. But I will use distilled water when I fill it back up. Any antifreeze better than the others?

    how can u add power to the 79 5.0

    You will need a new manifold going from a 2bbl to a 4bbl. But if you did get a DP you will need to do more modifications (heads/cam) for the 600 to be needed. Go with a better cam and get the heads ported to go along with the carb/intake.

    IS this normal??!!!! Thermostat/waterneck!??!

    the car sat for 3 years before I bought it so that could be the problem. Bah this sucks, and I did get a cast iron piece today, its actually really freakin bulky, so bulky my damn vac advance is getting in the way of installing it.

    IS this normal??!!!! Thermostat/waterneck!??!

    ive had the car for like 3 months. The engine only has like 2500 miles on it. and Ive got all the coolant drained right now. It looks nasty as hell, probably the reason my car has been running hot! And Im installing all new stuff so I guess I'm taking care of the problem then.

    how can u add power to the 79 5.0

    totally rebuild it with performance parts :) Or if you dont have that kind of change, you could get rid of the 2bbl carb for a 4, headers, exhaust. the usual. but really these will only help so much.
