Running Hot
Hi all,
Seems the car dosnt want to run when it gets over 210 deg, the first time it happened it started sputtering and poping like the ignition was cutting out and then it just whent dead this was when I got off the freeway from a 30 mile ride, on the freeway it runs at 180 deg and just gets hot when i hit the surface streets. After towing the car home i noticed the battery terminal was loose, could this cause the ignition to not work well at idle? I'm runing a Digital E-Curve Pro-Billet Distributor with no box, now it also feels like its flooding when this happens, could it be due to not getting enough spark at this time, and could the ignition really fail at just 210 deg?
Also what temperature should i get nervous at, 210 dosnt seem that hot, i have a Ron Divis radiator in it and thought this would be the least of my worries. As for now I'm only good for a short trip around town and this is no way to enjoy a fresh built car.
