Fired the old girl up today, got some work to do
 
So I fired the old 67 up today. It started as soon as I touched the key with a big gorwl (=:D:D:D)

Covered in dust, I couldn't resist going down the road and back (1/4 mile)

I was smiling the whole way but making a note of things that need to be adressed:

The trottle is sticking: To be safe, I am going to take it all apart and take my time reassembling it

Volts drop to 12.2 at idle, 14.4 past 1400rpm: Guess pulley is too large?

Water temps VERY slowly raise up: Pulley too large again? New edlebrock pump, flex fan, and big block aluminum rad. (since both pulleys slow, may just try droping a few sizes on crank pulley)

Door moan when opening: No idea...
Pass glass is messed up: always was but no idea how to fix

paint showing wear :(

Sounds like you are in over your head. I'd be glad to take it off your hands for you. It would look good next to my 69 vette

Could be a stuck open Thermostat
