Re: EagleChief's 1971 Build Thread
Installed the overflow tank temporarily and filled the radiator (almost) back up. It isn't quite full, so I'll add some water to it just so I can drive it around for a little bit to get the temperature up. Then, hopefully, I'll see some coolant in the reservoir and that should tell me I'm ok - for now.
If I'm still losing coolant, where do I go from there? Compression test? Rebuild? LS Swap? Crate motor swap?
I bought some new fuel line also and an inline fuel filter to replace the cheap thing that is currently in line. I'm going to try and bypass the fuel pump that is mounted to the fender and hope that the one under the cab will be sufficient. That way, I can have one solid run from the frame, up to the carb.
