Hello all
Just found this site today, seems real nice.
whats up with all the apple/mac look? just teasing..
I have a 65 chevelle I turned in to a prostreet machine.
I have been driving it around lately but it is overheating on me real bad. I have a real nice Ron Davis radiator and a Mezeire electric water pump attached to it. But this isn't doing the job for my 468 w/ a 671. I am currently looking at using Evans NPG+ coolant in it. Any advice on this product would be great. I backhaved the car and put in a 8 point cage. Put new quarters, deck lid filler, lots of bondo and a nice dark blue paint job.
I havn't got it to the track yet, mainly because I don't have a car trailer yet, but hope to spend lots of time there. Not really sure what class I want to run in yet. The car should drop in to the nines pretty easily, Maybe some high 8's ..
I plan on racing at Sears Point (infinion) and sac's raceway.
As well as cruising to local shows now and then.

Wow, good looking Chevelle! Good luck with your cooling problem. When does it overheat? Is it just in traffic, slow speed operation or when driving down the highway too? What is the rest of the drive train?
I get down to Infineon and Sac once in a while, maybe I will see you there
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

more about my chevelle
it's overheating pretty much anytime.
Driving down the road it even overheats.
I have a chassisworks fab 9 in the rear with 456's.

thanks for the compliment pat..
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
