I agree with ragu. My car had some issues once I finished assembly. Found all things add up to success. initial at 12 and 34 total. vac adv from a ported source and HD hayden fan clutch with an AC style 7 blade fan and shroud. also put in a smaller waterpump pulley to drv fan/pump faster. with a 180 stat it hangs at 185-190. will climb sitting in traffic to 195 and quickly drop once moving. Ran her this weekend and it was 96 and humid. Also all all dams must be in place on our first gens!!!!
Dont feel bad my buddies TA has killed three high torque starters due to heat, he loves those 4 tube headers though!!!
