1955 210 Handyman with a SBC 350 290 HP Fuel Injected

[sevangelista]

Hello all,

I am late to the dance. bought my car 2 years ago and I am getting close to done...but the easy part became the hard part. I bought a crate motor and an edlebrook fule injection system to make a daily driver out of this car.

Having a heck of a time with overheating...

i have checked the mixture and I am not too lean
Fuel pressure is to spec
Timing is a 8 degrees off TDC
High flow water pump (8 blade)
Huge aluminum radiator (forget the make)

Car is running at 210 then up to 225 with AC... seems really hot...heat through the fire wall (and Dynamat) is brutle

any thoughts?

Make sure the timing pulley is correctly marked with top dead center. That is where I'd start and work up from there.
