Engine started running hot soon after I put on 80 shot of gas,at idle it doesn't but go down the road and it boils out the overflow.
I connected a length of vac. hose to nipple on neck (where the hose that runs to resivoir connects). Started car (cold) and put length of hose into a jug of water and it immediatly started blowing bubbles, I'm told this means the H gasket is blown between cylinder and water passage. Engine doesn't run any diffrent just hot?
sound right?
