Far from a dumb question. I hate to suggest this, but they may have warped your rotors, and possibly the drums too, particularly if they're the aluminum units. Most tire dealers these days use torqu

What I'm talking about are the colored extensions they use on the air guns which, if they're using the ones built for 80 lb/ft, really don't help a heck of a lot, IMHO. Me, too, especially after I h

Don't remember if the 1600 and 2000 use cable or mechanical linkage, but be careful about adjusting that stop bolt on the floorboard down too far. Pretty sure that one of its functions is to keep th

Be sure to check the rotor and cap. If it's electrical, no amount of messing with the carbs will fix it. ;>) I'd suggest using an ohmmeter of some sort and check for continuity fro the contact insid

You need to center the fan, electrical or mechanical, in the center of the shroud opening fore and aft, otherwise it's still only pulling air through the portion of the rad directly in front of the

Putting the fan behind the radiator doesn't block airflow like putting it in front does. If the radiator is marginal to begin with that could be a problem. If it has at least some excess capacity it
