Thanks for all the advice. Glad I cleaned up the exhaust bump on the heads.+one less pulley
It's louder, and faster.
Going to replace the carpeting with mass backing/ sound deafening ad I cant hear my radio. The cellphone audio does not give it justice, get a better video up soon.Last edited by Grand1; 07-12-2018, 08:45 PM.

Cooling system redo. Replaced heater core (pressure tested it first with a pump, thanks Gadget), man it's so serviceable, no four letter words!;took like 2 hours. Old core was nasty with some funk in it. Flushed system with water several times and put in this new Thermacure stuff....there seems to be a lot of rust in my water passages. Will see if it works.

That's cool, I just am a cheap ass, and have an issue with the auto part cartels when it comes to price. Even after shipping, my cost is like 20% to 35% cheaper.

Hm, didn't know EvapoRust made a cooling system potion. I've had success with their regular stuff on old tools. If it works in a similar way it'll turn any red iron into black iron, but black iron is fairly stable. On the old tools I've soaked in it, they come out looking almost like they are gun blued. Guessing someone neglected that cooling system and/or ran straight water in it previously. Antifreeze has enough stuff in it that the innards of the motor won't rust but straight water makes a mess of things.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Or put Dexcool in it. Inside of my wife's 2000 CV engine block is scary.

Everything you gentleman mentioned is appreciated. Blew a heater hose today, OEM of 40yrs, rust in it......got to aggressive putting in the heater core yesterday.....
When seeing my lower block, rust in the water passages. Cycled through. 3 gallon batches of water, drain, fill and drive.(x8 times) ...the liquid was brown nasty.Just put this new Thermacure in with water and will run it for three days. Coolant has no milk at all, but dirty.
So Dexcool is better?Last edited by Grand1; 07-24-2018, 08:38 PM.

I think its about time for a full set of hoses based on how cracked up that one is. If the others are as old, they likely aren't any better.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
