I took my 58 Savoy out for it's maiden voyage the other day. It drove nice but after a couple miles it overheated. The hoses look new, the waterpump is new and the belt is fine. After the car cooled down overnight I started it up and felt the intake manifold, it was hot around the choke and cool around the intake ports. The butterfly was definitly frozen, I've since loosened it up with some penetrating oil and I want it to stay open. Question is, What's open? All the way clockwise? or all the way counter-clockwise? Thanks to all, Larry Gardinier
