I've spent time with my other mistress and money pit. My 83 Jeep Cherokee needed a new water pump and since the timing chain cover was leaking and needed to be replaced I did that too. The timing cover on an AMC series V8 is amazingly large and complex compared to our beloved Cleveland's...

Welcome from Phoenix! (Actually Mesa) What area of the State do you reside?

Maybe it is from Australia!

I am happy you found the problem. I tip my hat to your not only seeing the issue but following through on it. What a pain but your tenacity will be rewarded.

That sounds good! It's running, has new tires and I fixed the motor mounts. I need a bit more time to get the timing and carbs adjusted but she's good for driving!

WOW is right. It looks overly complicated? But that's from a strictly amateur perspective. There is no way I could have conceived of nor do I have the skills to put something like that together.

I have run both the Hooker Comp and Super Comp. Here is a write up on the differences 'installed' and what I had to do to get them installed. You can do this. https://7173mustangs.com/threads/hooker-headers-super-comp-to-comp-swap.9908/

I've had both the super comp (long tube) and comp ('short' tube). Here's a writeup I did: https://7173mustangs.com/threads/hooker-headers-super-comp-to-comp-swap.9908/

At least the hub caps match!

Has OP been clear if it is 'running' or 'dieseling'?

You can add a relay with a 12v source and the ignition wire as the trigger.

Sorry, did I miss that list in the original post? That's a decent set of parts and a good reason to keep with the 4V. An original set isn't impossible to find although a quick search shows they can be a bit 'pricey'. I can't help with what aftermarket might work. When I was searching for...

I'd get an IR gun or a temp gauge. You could pick up a fairly cheap one and screw it into where the CTO is on the upper hose housing as a temporary use gauge. So it was running and turned off on it's own. The distributor isn't 'tight' with the hold down so it's easy to move. Is this...

What do they think is wrong with them? What parts do you have?

Let's step back to make sure we are on the same page. 1. Is it still leaking fluid? That's one of the first things to get fixed. If it is leaking where is it leaking from (as detailed as you can provide) 2. Is it running hot? What temp is it running at? How are you measuring it? If it...

Greetings and welcome to the forum First, by leak I assume you mean you could see coolant leaking out of the engine/cooling system. The thermostat is inside the closed coolant system and once correctly installed cannot cause an external leak. They can 'fail' but a failure not 'cause' a leak...

OMG. I can only imagine that your excitement level is through the roof. I am very happy for you!

No worries. I tend to read each post thread as a 'stand alone' and unless someone is a constant poster that I easily recognize I don't pay much attention to 'who' posted. In general I have had good luck with this forum and the folks who are members. There is always the chance for...

I apologize if I came across as not offering any help. My concern was the set you were looking at were being sold as something that originally came with the car from the factory. Or perhaps they were specifying their hookers were an earlier model run. The reason you are being asked a lot...

What does he mean 'original'?
