Bob,
I'm enjoying it too. Everyone is addressing everything that I have
already
tried but none has come up with an answer to what the dia. of the
water pump
pulley should be???
I assume no one has found my chair?
I'm
hoping the Distributor rebuild will be the answer. If the problem ever gets
solved I will definately report back with the cure.
Really enjoyed you clubs
Conclave.
Ron

Ron,
I'm enjoying the
dialogue regaarding the engine temperature on your tri-carb. I
sincerly hope
a definitive answer surfaces.
My BT7 Tri-carb
has had the same issue for
years. I run fine in town or at moderate highway
speeds, but get it above 65
MPH andthere goes the temperature. On some
longdistance runs I've run for
hours at above 212, No problems but I
just don't like it. It definitely is
worse on a sunny day, of course my car is
black so it maybe absorbing heat
from the sun. Your car is white so there is a
difference.
On my radiator
shrouding I've addedsealent to prevent any air from getting
around the
radiator, helps but not significant. I do not have OD issues, running
Redline.
Good luck solving the heat and please share the result.
Bob
