    Re: Overheating

    Just make sure the valve moves back and forth. Thats what turns the water on/off for heat.

    As far as the leak I think you could use generic hose from anyparts store thats the right size (3/8 maybe) it just wont be formed like the factory. That plate looks like it just warmd the carb some is all. Not needed in warmer climates. Cold carb more power!

    Re: Overheating

    People need your help!!! smoke is coming from under and going up and around the distributor, its not thick smoke its really thin and looks like something fried or isnt connected fully.What could it be? Also i had my car running for at least 5 min. before i drove it around for another 5min. The temp gauge didnt move passed C. Could my temp sensor be fried or something?

    Re: Overheating

    Be careful, and go look under. Check for leaks. Bleed the system then see if the temp gauge works.

    I was going to do that but it started raining, when it was smoking i was looking under and everywhere the smoke was coming from but didnt see any leaks. Should i open the dizzy cap and see if anything is black or looks out of the ordinary?

    I doubt something happened there because it happened after you messed with the hoses.

    Re: Overheating

    What does the oil smell like? Is it sweet, or does it smell like oil? My guess is a weeping thermostat gasket.

    Re: Overheating

    are you sure thats its not just leftover coolant burning off the engine?
    Did you make sure that all the hose clamps are tight or did you reuse the original spring clamps if you did replace them with screw style clamps, one of the hose may not me tightened enough.
    On your heater lever it looks like the cable isnt attached to the lever. I may just may not be able to see it but thats what it looks like in the video

    Re: Overheating

    It doesnt smell like oil it smells kinda like coolant, the lever is attached its hard to see in the vid, and i used new screw belt clamps and i tightend them as much as i could but my hands were in an awkward position. Later i'll re-tighten them and see if they are tight. I wanna open the thermostat housing and see whats goin on but i dont wanna spill all that coolant in the engine again. I bled the system for air and the temp gauge still wont move and the car was running for 10min at least. How long should spilled coolant smoke like that? Russiankid told me my timing is off cause the is idling rough, ima look into doing that asap but my dad is overseas now and were trying to not spend that much money so when i get a job it would be easier to fix this car until i get a newer one.

    Re: Overheating

    silly question. did you maybe disconnect the wire going to the temp. sender, this could be why your gauge isnt moving.

    Re: Overheating

    Make sure you don't over tighten the clamps, then the hose can split from the pressure.

    I think the carb'd one is on the intake. Or at least under it.

    Re: Overheating

    I drove the car to school today and it seemed fine but the temp gauge didnt move at all its still below C and i feel that my timing is really off cause when im in gear and stopped, its a rough idle and when i look at the rpms the needle is moving up and down a lil bit. To make sure this is caused by my timing right? Also how do you unplug the temp gauge sending unit? those clips are hard to take off.
