IML: 73 Overheating..(and more)

[jhplc@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi List

 

The good...finally got Thermoquad #4 to work..dash lights now work...there is a grounded screw

that holds the plastic housing for the dash floodlights...now that is grounded...they work..took a year and

a half to figure that out and a new headlight switch..,,Now the bad..

 

 

 

Replaced the thermostat and radiator cap, and while the temp gauge doesn't even get to the 1/2 mark

(mid 50's temp today), there is a lot of heat coming off the motor, and the front passenger carpet gets

really warm..(exaust pipes under there).. and when the motor is shut off, coolant comes out of the

drain tube onto the ground...( car does not have the overflow tank).. So I put the old cap back on,

and while the coolant stays in the radiator, there is still  too mutch heat under the hood..

so after reading the repair section, it could be the heat riser sticking.( it moves by hand)... or

many other things..any guesses?
