    I'm still running hot. I wish it was as easy as low coolant. I'm really starting to believe the head gaskets are seeping a little bit.

      Holy shit...

      I drove it today (keep in mind, I advanced the timing 18* last night) after new plug wires...













































      This thing is FAST.

      Still SLIGHTLY heating up, but I think I need a better radiator. Also caught a check engine light. Gonna hit the Zone tomorrow and see what it's about.

            Didn't we tell you it would run once you got it debugged?

            Is that the original radiator? It might just be that its plugged up with shit and won't cool properly.

              Yeah- it's original. 17 years old and 185,000ish miles. Gonna replace it with a 3-row or a 4-row.

                      I want to play with it a little more before I start driving it daily again. I may go ahead and spring for some 3.73s and hold off on the traction lock until I can do that, too. We'll see.

                      I'm drunk. Been celebrating.

                      Gonna bump the timing another 2* tomorrow and see how it runs. I'm almost scared. hehehe... then the idea of the engine reving up roughly 30% faster... Mmm... torque...

                      Edit: Oh- and I REALLY need to come out of the throttle a LOT before I burn out the brand new clutch. The next 450 miles are gonna take forever!!

                                I don't know about third- I have REALLY sloppy suspension... but I did light 'em up crazy-like pulling out of the driveway last night.

                                Like I said, I need to come out the throttle a lot. Hehehe.
