Welcome
Bob, been there and done that. Not easy. I'm so glad things turned out to be OK. We would hate to lose you. Jimmy needs his father. We need our friend. Glad you made it to the track. Car or no car, you are and will be welcome. But, I think you know that. If you didn't, you do now!

Great Time
Me and Sue had a great time,all the Norwalk group was there plus a few new members.I didn't miss the 57 because,I was doing Photos if any members want some more photos of there car,send me a PM.The 57 would not have made the trip,I installed a rebuilt water pump and a molded lower radiator hose today.The 57 blew the hose off on a 10 mile road trip at 160 deg and a 13 lb cap

Hose?????
Jim, I know this is a dumb question to ask you, but is the cap releasing at 13 PSI? Have you checked it with a pump? That sounds crazy to keep blowing the lower hose off like that. Something is sure wrong somewhere. Glad you didn't try to bring it south. Do you have one of those point and shoot temperature guns? Might check the temps to make sure the gage isn't wrong. But that still wouldn't solve the problem, I guess. Never had that happen, so can't tell you how to fix it. Heck, you would know better than me, anyway.

Fred,those are good questions,I know the cap works at 13 lbs,because the overffow works.I do have a temp gun,but I don't have time to point it because the hose blows off.I ordered a 348-409 hose from Show Cars,I used a 1 3/4 inch molded hose from NAPA.
JimK, I never trusted those corigated hoses like you have. I took the ones off my Blazer as soon as I bought it and sold them at a swap meet.
The next guy can worry now.
Put on those new hoses and check and retighten them after a few miles and you should be fine,,dq

Fred I just checked the forum been a little busy. Your trailer is coming along good I hope to have it done Wed. or Thursday. I'll call about your golf cart in the morning to see when I can pick it up. It will be in your trailer when we bring it back. By the way thanks for the comments about me, but even if I get a car I will still crew for Denny and You or anyone else I could help. And I don't make Denny fast He does. So if I do get a W car his hands will be in it all the way. As far as you and Bob growing up I've always wanted to grow up to be a Kid. It cost me a lot of money to be this way I don't want to waste it. Bo
