I recently aquired a trick flow track intake manifold for my 50. after installing it the rpms ran high and so did the temp (coolant and oil). well i thought there must be a blockage so a friend and i removed the intake completely and then did step by step perfect in my opinion. i went out and bought a new 195 term and changed the oil and coolant 50/50 mix. installed it agian adjusted the timming back down to 10 degree. the rpm's still run between 1100 and 1500 and the car is still running a little hotter than i prefer. the oil especially. i have push rubber oil caps and it looks as if the oil is slowly comming out from the caps. i'm not really driving it for obvios reasons but the sooner someone could please help the better thanks.
