Smokedawg's Overheating and Driveability Issues

[jimberg]

All of the info below was posted by Smokedawg in the Blue Oval Lounge. I thought I'd start a new thread here to give him a hand.

Fastang: Here are a few of my problems.
This car can handle no stop and go driving situations..It gets to damn hot..like 240ish and higher sometimes to 250ish..I have put in a 3core radiator..Permacool fan..I took out the ac stuff and in front of the radiator even put a electric fan to push air into the radiator during stop and go driving..I put a 160degree thermostat and enginkool in it..I have no head gasket blown..I have fixed this prob a little with the electric fan but in long stop and go driving such as in the city, it still gets hot.

Another problem is that once i drive it somewhere over about 10 miles and go into a store or somewhere and come back out..when i start it, it acts like its flooded..and sometimes it will just turn over and never fire..so after about 5 minutes of never firing finally for some reason it will just start right up then act flooded..Now once i get on the road i have no problem w/it acting flooded..so i have turned the fuel pressure down but when i do this my car wont rev pass like 5500 and it acts like its starving for fuel.

So this car just now drives around my local town and right back home because i am afraid to drive it in fear of getting stranded somewhere or the motor detnating...

Any suggestions that will help is much appreciated..Thanks
