Today was a nice day so we went for a ride in the '78 Camaro. The car's running pretty good. The only exception is, I'm getting a noticeable fuel smell from the exhaust. It's not eye watering, buts it's there and noticeable. I messed around with the idle mixture screws a little before it got dark. Other then that all went well.
It was about 65° out today. My coolant temp. was a tad over 180°. It runs a little warmer when it's in the high 80's low 90's. It'll get up to 195° or so. My trans. temp. never went over 150°. I just put a freshly rebuilt TH350, new Coan 11" Pro Street stall converter (stalls 2600 RPM), a case of Amsoil Full Synthetic trans. fluid, factory new steel type lines and a 15.5" x 7.5" x 1.5" external tranny cooler on it.
We want to put as many miles we can on it before it starts snowing. Next year we have a lot of body, interior and suspension work to do. We rebuilt the whole drive line this past year. So we're off to a pretty good start!
