[Classic Mustang] Re: 65 mustang speed issue...

Today I flushed out the antifreeze today and it didnt look like
antifreeze it was orange and full of rust I drained and flushed it
twice til it was coming out really clean. might that have caused the
overheating? cause I cant take it to get the timing done my friends
place is packed up with cars from insurance claims and such...

(I "think" on the passenger side). Two would make it really hard to
get the exhaust out. I suppose the factory has their reasons
(especially in colder climates), but to me, it just don't make sense
to ever block the exhaust, especially no better than stock manifolds
flow anyway. I guess that's why "they" get the big bucks, and "we"
get to modify them to work right...LOL. I bet a lot of people would
like to have California weather. I know I would, even though NC
weather isn't usually that bad. With a little fancy footwork, I can
get by without a choke too...LOL. Have a good one.
