Hey hey hey hey boys!!!
So we had a great last week with Betsy!! Cleaned her up and took Cameron to the prom with his date in it! On the way, word got out so we even picked up more on the way and was a little like a clown car by the time we got to the school, all full!!!
We all felt like rockstars, pulling into the school, there were at least 300 people that all surrounded the very fancy drop off point. Parents, kids, just gawkers all surrounding drop spot... The way it worked, you pull in, a line was formed and slowly make your way to the "Red Carpet". Cars, limo's inched there way forward and kids felt like stars... After 20 min or so making our way up, people had their cameras out video taping us, ha!
Now on the inside, i was on full pucker!!! Betsy with the new MSD ignition, intake, doesnt like to idle long as the temp will go up forever. I was watching the guage make its way up past 190, 195, 200, 205, 210 and did the "shut off" and wait till the cars pulled forward, start pull up, shut down method. It actually made things worse as the heat soak added temp, but we seemed natural because people were so close to you that the exhaust at idle was causing peoples pant legs to flutter.
Now, were on to the new project, fix the cooling system with electric fans and a Davis controller!!
Over the last few days i worked with Griffin and measured and ordered the new 2x fan shroud, and received in the relay kit... Trying to tape the install so if anyone else goes this route they can learn from our install..
(Yes, before we did this we flushed the system, swapped the thermostat but no help. We have a fan clutch, tried to idle high like 1500 to pull air and again no difference)
Also, been out again with jeanne and taped our ride. If you want to come along, jump in! You have to love the overdrive switch!!! Ill fix the audio on the next trip, little windy but have a new mic-sock. Glad we did tape it, the engine cut out at min 21:30 !! You can hear it complete shut off and on a bunch of times for about 30 seconds, then it went away... Not sure if it was an air-lock, or electrical drop, but cant find out why....
