OK I will try that first. Maybe the rod is not actuating it. Its so freakin' hot right now I am not making much progress.
I am trying to get my Maverick running. I did get the 302 started and it sounds fine ! I replaced the starter, the solenoid, battery cables etc....
I put a thermostat in ! I have to get back on the project !
It does not seem like there was any rationale for which cars, got which gears. If they were out of 3.00's maybe they used 2.79's or vise versa.
Thanks . That helps a lot.
So the core support is actually welded in ? I was wondering about that..........
I have a 72 that was lightly hit in the front. The core support is sprung. I know where some parts cars are, but want to be sure I get one that...
That could be. The Vega was a better looking car than the Pinto. A Maverick is quite a bit longer than the Vega.
Those Vega motors were notorious for failing. The drag race community loved Vega's though ! The First gens, 71-73 people really like. One thing...
Whatever works . I do sort of like the 3 holes idea, since the thermostat is horizontal on a 302 . For sure having a hole near the top would be...
That was my feeling as well. I want the air to pass but not to flow meaningful amounts of coolant through it.
But the Torino was not a cheap car whatsoever. A 72 Q code was $4200 with a 351. The Mustang went with the design change in 71 which probably...
That is a great point ! And probably the ultimate truth. The Mustang was the flagship. I just read you could buy a 72 Mav for $1995. A 72 Mustang...
I always put a very small hole, like 1/16" or smaller in the thermostat also. Eliminates any chance of an air pocket when you fill it up with coolant.
Turning in a 17 second 1/4 mile time slip, with a light Grabber Maverick with a 302 is not impressive ! I am surprised they did not have some...
They would have ran a lot better with a 3.40 gear or so !
Pulled the old radiator, getting ready for new aluminum radiator install.
I am going to put a gauge on mine also. Is that right there on the drivers side of the thermostat housing? It looks like there is a wire to the...
That is what I love about Chevy ! Cheap horsepower and very available parts. I am going with the 302 in the Mav since its in there. The small...
Ok. Thanks for your input. I am Chevy guy. I was looking at the motor compartment in disbelief !
