Quote from my wife, "you are crazy putting all this money in an old car, you should have bought a new one." What do you think guys; should I go for it?

A new high flow 160 degree thermo really helped with the cool down. The radiator is a new stock radiator I got from auto zone. The distro shims helped alot also. no more wobble. The fuel line is runnig about three inches from the block, up the front next to the h2o pump. I am concerned about heat there and bought a tube of thermo-flex from "cool-it", which should help. I am also thinking of putting in a alum radiator sometime.

Then there are those of us who love getting up close and personal with our old cars - you know the type - grease under the finger nails, skinned and greasy knuckles.....
Or you can really test the wife's patience and ask for both! [sm=badbadbad.gif]
