Yesterday I drove the V8 to work and back (20mi eachway), I overheated once in
each direction. On the way down I popped a hose off of one of my hard lines.
On the way back I just overheated since I welded beads onto the ends of the
hardlines to retain them. After a little roadside diagnosis, I discovered
that I had my fans blowing in the wrong direction. The poor things were
blowing out the front of the car fighting the air. After fixing this and
driving to work again, I am running at 200-210 on the highway, and 210-220 in
traffic, not bad in my estimation.
I still haven't looked into the running probs although with the better cooling
the car will restart when hot. But I'll save that for a separate message.
