  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    What do you mean? Im guessing the inside of your intake is black..... That could mean incorrect jetting.... Im not a Holley or idelbroke guy so I cant help you. FWIW there is no such thing as bolt on out of the box that works... Carbs NEED to be set up for the motor that its going on.

    Spray some Gumout in the carburetor with the engine running. Probably just varnish.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    You can also put the overflow hose into a jar of water when the engine is started cold and see if bubbles come out. According to the chassis manual that is a good way to test for exhaust leaking into the cooling system. Nothing to take apart and simple to test.

    I ran the #s on the carb .says it's a 570cfm .I'm sure it needs to be tuned.after it's warm you have to hit the gas pedal for it to start.

    Like I said weirdest Rad in my life......... My rads all my cars & trucks are Crossflow rads... All of them have top hose on one side tank,,,, bottom hose on other... Your hoses are on the same tank.... Thats not even a down flow...... Down flowers are top and bottom tanks top hose is usually in the center or in the bottom on the opposite corner..

    Well that explains why its weird looking.

    Personally I dont care for it. When I need to remove the coolant for system I remove the cap and place a hose in all the way to the bottom of rad and pump the coolant out.... ZERO mess......
