RQB3263/81/305 ..... AFTER STUDYING 3263 PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED IT WAS CLEAR TO ME THAT THE CAR LOOKED BETTER WITH OUT BUMPERS ...... SO I ELIMINATED THEM FRONT AND REAR ... NO ONE EVEN NOTICES THAT THERE GONE... I DID THIS OVER 10 YRS AGO AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN ... SEVERAL OTHER MODS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED TO THE BUMPER AREA ..... CAN YOU SPOT THEM ?.....BEST WISHES ....BILL IN FLORIDA

RQB3263...... -6 OR BETTER KNOWN AS 3/8" ATTACHED: PICS OF MY FUEL TANK SHUT OFF/ FUEL FILTER MOD I INSTALLED 10 YRS AGO ALL FITTINGS ARE -6 OR 3/8" SOME AIRCRAFT SOME SAE ....I REPLACE FILTER EVERY 3 OR 4 YRS....CHEV/GM FILTER FROM AMAZON FRAM G3727CS ... 21$ LOCATED RIGHT BELOW PASSENGER DOOR ..... WORKS GREAT

RQB3263 .... OH YES !! I LIKE THAT ...... I THINK YOUR ON TO SOMETHING ....YAAAAA

RQB3263..... ALSO.... THIS IS MY SUMMERIZATION MOD LOOKS LIKE UNTIL THANKSGIVING WHEN I REMOVE THE 3/4 INCH SPACERS UNDER THE LATCHES, PUT THE LATCHES DOWN IN THE REGULAR POSITION FOR THE WINTER (OR COOLER WEATHER IN FLORIDA) AT THAT TIME THE SPACERS GO ON TOP OF THE LATCHES FOR STORAGE TILL SPRING .... THIS HAS TO LET ENGINE COMP HEAT OUT .....EASY AND CHEAP ....BILL IN FLORIDA

RQB3263..... I SEE NO REASON WHY THIS FAN SHOULDNT WORK JUST FINE..... I THINK JIM'S PROBLEM IS SOMEWHERE ELSE .... VERY NICE INSTALLATION ..JIM'S PROBLEM IS EITHER INADEQUATE AIR FLOW OR WATER FLOW.... AND THERE ARE MANY CAUSES FOR BOTH....MOST LISTED HERE..... MAKE A LIST AND ELIMINATE EACH.... KEEP IN TOUCH

RQB3263..... EXHAUST/TAIL PIPE/MUFFLER BLOCKAGE ...COLLAPSED MUFFLER.....ANOTHER POSSIBILITY

RQB3263...... BRAND NEW DOESN'T GUARANTEE CORRECT OR QUALITY .... WELL THATS ANOTHER STORY.....CHECK WATER PUMP BELT TENSION ... AND IGNITION TIMING....IN COMBINATION BUT MORE THAN LIKELY ONE THING RESTRICTING AIR OR WATER FLOW AND NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH YOUR NEW ENGINE..... INTERESTING KEEP IN TOUCH HERE... BILL IN FLORIDA

RQB3263..... MICHEAL PHILLIPS 215-260-8377 AIR DAM SUPPLIER MANUFACTURER

RQB3263/81/305 .... THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL THINGS YOU CAN DO ... ALL TOGETHER MAY HELP .... INDIVIDUALLY NOT SO MUCH ...AIR DAM WILL HELP DOWN THE ROAD ... I GOT MINE FROM MICHEAL PHILLIPS IN PA....I BELIEVE HE IS THE ONLY MFG./SUPPLIER.....PICK A TARGET TEMP I SUGGEST 200 DEGREES RUN IT TO THAT POINT AND SHUT IT OFF AND COOL DOWN... TIME IT AND DO IT AGAIN ...EACH TIME IT SHOULD TAKE LONGER UNTILL IT WILL RUN AT 200 CONTINUOUSLY ... THIS WILL INDICATE YOUR ENGINE BREAK-IN IS COMPLETE ... CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER .... ALSO INSTALL A TRANS COOLER AND GET THAT HEAT OUT OF THE RADIATOR ... I NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND THAT ... REMOVE THE HEAR RISER VALVE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ... IS YOUR ELECTRIC FAN BLOWING THE RIGHT DIRECTION ?? BE SURE THE THERMOSTAT IS 180 WITH 4 OR 5 .. 3/16 HOLES DRILLED .... HOW ABOUT THE WATER PUMP IMPELLER NOT IMPOSSIBLE IT HAS THE WRONG IMPELLER... IVE SEEN IT BEFOR ...ALSO IN THE SUMMER TIME I SPACE THE HOOD LATCHES UP 3/4 INCH REQ LONGER BOLTS... 5 MINUTE JOB ...AND SWITCH BACK AT THANKSGIVING ....
