You don't want it to get to warm with no cooling hooked up. I would go for the cooling system before a muffler. Sounds pretty good to me. Hey jack. I just had a new water cover plate welded up. That will be my next priority. To get the cooling system in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been welded and repaired so many times. I used it as a pattern to have a new stainless sheet metal box made with the right proportions and a built in distribution plate. It looks a bit more angular but it should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Man Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 The water distribution plate is the big deal, the holes have to flow the same as the pump output. I have drawn them up in CAD and have them laser cut out of stainless steel. I have not done a six yet but need to do one for my engine. Might have a spare cover after this weekend, going to pick up a parts car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the cover on my car was so leaky, I made a new one from stainless. On my design, the water distribution holes are still there but they are part of the whole unit. I'll post some pics when I get it back from the welder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to take your wife to dinner once in a while so she knows you're still alive. Now that your engine is running , hopefully the two of you will soon be able to go out together in the '29 ! GREAT family fun for yours and the spectator families ! - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
