Ok, I'm on my last leg here trying to fix this thing from getting hot. I
had the radiator re-cored and a re-worked Smitty's head with like new
water ports, new hoses, thermostat and radiator cap. The carbs I thinks
are adjusted ok, I used Color-Tune and then checked the color of the
plugs, all looks fine. The timing is now electronic and has been set to
8 degrees BTDC. I check the water flow after warming the car up and the
pump appears to be moving the water but the darn thing still gets hot
after only a little while running. I'm stuck! I have no clue as to why
it's doing this. Is it possible that the water pump is not pumping
enough? the thing was only six months old when I started to have
problems, course that was about two years ago. I'd hate to buy a new
pump and find out the problem still exists. The car never got hot when I
first bought it about 15 years ago then things started to happen and it
never got fixed correctly.
Any help on this?
