I have made more updates than I probably should have on the cooling issues at idle thread, so I thought I would make a thread dedicated to my car only.
I inherited my car from my father this year...
Alright gentlemen, I haven't changed anything on the car to date, but it was an unusually cool day in Minnesota yesterday and I decided to take the car for a ride to see what happened. I was...
I think the pertinent question is why are you asking, what are you trying to do? Is the light isn't working with one door or another than just trace the line back from the door switch towards the...
Thanks cnut, I'll keep everyone posted.
I took the car to a show today about a 20 minute drive away, mostly highway. The news is, that the car doesn't cool particularly well at idle, I already knew that. Now I know that the car doesn't...
Welcome to the site, looks like you have a lot of fun ahead of you, enjoy it!
Your car has "two alternators" right?
That's my thought as well, I am lacking space for a shroud right now. I have a high flow water pump already. I'll look into seeing what dual fans will fit
Well, installing a hood isn't an option at this point. I would have to fabricate a mounting system while simultaneously figuring out a way to stiffen the hood itself. I've never heard anybody say...
Congrats! How many cars were there?
It might be hard to tell, but the middle picture taken from above, you can see that I have almost no room between the frame and the fan right now. I hope I can find something that fits and works.
I'll see if I can find a shroud that fits before I spring for the dual fan system. Fingers crossed.

It is set up to drag race, but with no hood there is very little restriction to the radiator at all.
Although, now that I look at the situation closer, do you think that a shroud would make that much difference with mine?726872697270
I run my 55 without the hood. It still runs around 190-210 on the highway and will creep up slowly in town and up to as high as 230 at stop lights. I am looking for a guy in rochester who can bend me...
I took the car out for the inaugural ride today, of course it overheated. I looked at the fluid level and it was quite low, luckily I had extra in the trunk. After I added fluid and let it cool down...
New tires arrived and I installed them, I didn't realize that I would have to drop the axel to get it done, so it was a larger protect than I expected, but it is finished now.

I have a set of inner fenders that I do not plan on installing, they are in perfect condition.

Ooh, went home on my lunch break today and had to try this trick to clean chrome I read about last night using aluminum foil and water, and it worked so much better than I expected! Have any of you...
New tires should arrive today. Also, I have an ATF leak that appears to be coming from the front seal, I do not think I have the know how to drop the trans on my own. Luckily, I have a mechanic buddy.
Good call. The brakes always were an issue, he never really got it sorted out. I think it may have the wrong type of Master cylinder right now.
I'm not an expert by any means, but I think you're out of luck.
Okay boys, I joined the club a few weeks ago and mentioned my old man's car that I inherited. I have finally gotten the time to haul it to Rochester MN where I live and start working on it!

I noticed that our cars are very similar, what motor are you running?
