im having trouble w/ the cooling system...thinking theres air in it. what did u do w/ the heater control valve that was above the pass. side valve cover when u switched to carb? did u keep it,ditch it,or what? i still have it on there and im thinkin thats my problem b/c ive looked at other carb (factory) cars online and its different. but i moved mine from over the valve cover to against the fender well on the pass. side right behind the overflow tank for the radiator.

 

are u talking about the two coolant lines that come out of the firewall if so just run the one to the rad and the other to the top of ur water pump and run the car with ur cap off the rad till the thermostat opens and make sure ur fluid is good then it should be fine

 

Where that heater hose T's off we removed everything and just plugged the T'd section. No more valve.

 

just put one hose to the rad and the other to ur water pump and it will work fine if ur car is still over heating cut the spring out of an old thermo so that u have just a restrictor to slow ur water flow down that is what i had to do and alot of racers do that also

 

yea,but arent u gonna have warm air comin in the car all the time now b/c u dont have a heater control valve? i think so lol. bought some heater hose and the control valve is gonna come in tmw at Advance auto parts and it looks exactly like the 1 thats on a TPI car,but on has 1 inlet and 1 outlet w/ the vacuum attachment on top. ill give u part number if u want tmw when i get it,let me know. ill be re-routing the hoses later on 2day hopefully and ill just put the valve in later on.

thanks for the replys

 

I gutted all that crap, I just run a line out the top of the intake over to the heater core, and then the other from the core to the radiator to the fitting just below the cap. Heater works fine, but I have no A/C so perhaps the way I have it setup would mess that up if I did...
