So, it's been awhile since I've posted. Due to some free time, I've been able to start hammering out issues that I may have mentioned in previous posts.
Here's what I've done so far:
Replaced the brake booster.
Replaced the intake manifold gaskets.
Replaced the exhaust pipe gaskets. (Apparently, I've been poisoning myself.)
Replaced the spark plugs and wires.
Carb adjustments, timing adjustments.
Things have been running super smooth. However..
Yesterday, I could feel water boiling in the upper radiator hose. I removed and tested the thermostat. It was fine, but I didn't drop it back in. The problem was still happening. Hot running and boiling water.
I felt the next logical step was to replace the water pump.
So, that's what I did. The situation hasn't really changed at all. I'm overlooking something. But what?
Could it be the head gaskets? Perhaps it's time for a serious flush? I did a not so serious one when the old pump was still in there. Clogs, bad adjustments, something.
I am STUMPED.
