I will check the pulley size tonight.

Timing and jetting are per builder specs.

It seems like it would continue to rise above 230 if I didn't shut it down. Who knows how far it would go.

My big shop fan is about 3-4 inches from the front of the car. There is only about 2-3 feet of space on the other side of the fan and the air all around the car gets pretty warm during the run since this is a small garage with not much ventilation.

The radiator is completely full since this car uses a separate expansion tank that is above the radiator top level. I leave the cap off until about 200 degrees. I have opened the top bleed valve in the radiator and just fluid comes out with no air.

After cool down, the level in the expansion tank is about an inch to inch and a half or so (right up to the baffel separating lower and upper sections).
