Re: Newbie thinking about diving into a '65 GMC 1000

Working my way through what my maintenance manual says regarding overheating. For anyone else's reference, here it is.

I've crossed off a, c, d, e, and f (I think). My new belt tension gauge just arrived, along with the timing light, so b and g are next. I slapped the gauge on there and the belt tension is around 50 lbs, which is much too loose, so when it cools off outside a bit I will adjust the tension correctly and move on to timing if I have time tonight.

I'm wondering if I can fashion a temporary upper radiator mount somehow until I can find a stock one for my radiator. This would allow me to at least try the correct lower position.
