Seriously, if you're having heat soak problems, whether they be in in the lines themselves or in the carb, having your fans run a little longer when you shut the car down will make a big difference. Do you have your fans on a thermo switch? If so, where is the switch and what's the triggering temp? Do you have a fan override switch? What you might try as an experiment is to run your car in a fashion that usually creates the problem, shut it down, and when the fans automatically turn themselves off throw your override switch and run the fans for three minutes longer. Then see if you still have your heat soak problems. If that does the trick then there are easy ways to make your heat soak problem go away. Unfortunately, those tricks will not work on Chas.  |
Patrick:
I already sifted out the serious and the jokes and I realized who is saying what.
I am intalling an electric gas pump which will have an in line
oil cooler adapted to cool the gas. I addition I will increase the diameter of the air filter with a flow through KN air filter. I already installed the phenolic spacer and hopefully I can leave the turkey pan on.
If it persist with the percolation, then the Turkey pan comes off. The fans in my car kick on @ 200 degrees I can leave them on until they temp goes down that's not a problem.
I will also install throught the front vents two cooling hoses with inhose mini fans to add more cool air to the engine bay. I have realized that there are some quirks that these cars have that we need to live with them or buy a Corvette(thar's not going to happen)
Thanks for your advise, take care.
