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 (=)

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
