I bought another Holley 600. After a few issues, the carb problems appear to be resolved. The car has been thru many ups and downs since then. All in all, it runs like a scalded dog. The latest problem was with cooling. The more miles I have put on it (About 1,000 since I put it on the road in September), the worse it got. Runs over 200 even at speed and goes into serious overheating after sitting thru just a couple of traffic lights. It used to cool down once it got moving. Now, it doesn’t. I finally pulled the radiator and took it to a radiator shop. This was a radiator that Keith had built for the car many years ago. In addition to the usual gunk you would expect in a radiator that has been sitting for 15 years without being drained, they found that 18 of the 81 tubes were totally blocked by solder that shouldn’t have been there. The new core is supposed to be here Wednesday. Hopefully, the new core, electric pusher fan, and blocked horn holes will allow me to drive it like a real car. I’m still searching for a better belt driven fan.
