    flush cooling system- now overheating

    gauge going well above top 1/4 of range. doesn't boil over sitting at idle but does come out of overflow after driving. Definitely boiling. I did notice another thread that pointed to a lower radiator hose. When I flushed the system could I have gotten enough crud in the lower hose to restrict flow?

    flush cooling system- now overheating

    I have a 67 Coupe with a 289. Have had few several years and has never even began to overheat. The coolant was looking like dirt so I thought I would flush and replace coolant. Ran the flush through, ran it a while with just water, drained and replaced coolant. Now, it's overheating. When it...

    voltage regulator?

    on my 68 GT500KR, when the engine is running above 1000 rpm, the interior lights cycle between bright and dim. Below 1000 rpm, they are fine. Is this the voltage regulator? It is a fresh restoration and I replaced both the alternator (from AMK) and the regulator. Thanks for any thoughts.

    Convertible Top Issues

    fluid type is the correct fluid type Mercon Type F? also, when replacing the rear window only, what is the best way to make sure that it is tight enough? I know mine has a lot of pressure on the zipper. Could too much pressure also contribute to premature cracing of the hinge in the glass?

    Convertible Top Issues

    My '70 Convertible has 2 top issues. First, the top goes down with no problem but needs lots of help going up. The motor sounds like it's working but is there a way to check it, i.e. pressure output? I am planning on new cylinders and tubing. Would that be your recommendation? Second...

    gauges dying

    on my 67 coupe, the gauges work fine (fuel, oil press, alt, temp) when i crank the car. after 10-15 minutes of driving, the gauges quit working as well as turn signals. i am sure this is something simple but i don't know. seems to be heat related b/c it happens quicker on hotter days.

    lowering a 67 coupe

    just bought a 67 coupe to have some fun with and want to lower front and rear more for looks than handling. Also want to be able to install some 16 or 17 inch wheels at some point. it looks like I will need to install a negative camber kit to install the larger wheels. If I do this, will I need...
