Nice 64 Chevelle, love it ! I can relate. Back in early 1970, I bought a used silver 64 Chevelle 2 door hardtop with 6 cylinder and stick on the column shift. Six months or so later it was sporting a slightly modified 1968 302 Z 28 motor, Pontiac Muncie 4 speed and a rebuilt 66 GTO posi rear with 3.90 gears. Painted 68 Caddy Nottingham (Emerald) Green. Green and silver interior. It had a whole slew of aftermarket equipment; ignition, exhaust, some valve train mods, interior upgrades, etc. Car ran fairly well considering it was so light. Drove on the street for 10 years before I sold it. Wish I had kept it !
All My big blocks all run 160 temp with 160 thermostat, and a big high deasrt cool radiator, 4 core I think, my bigblock will hit 170/80 on hills or pulling hard,or idling for long times, so I’m not sure why yours is 190 , that is not good, thanks BigAl California.
Hey Al thanks for some insight on your setup. 190 is OK - but I don’t want any more than that. I was in it recently and had a hard time keeping it below 210. There’s a lot of data that suggests a 2 row with 1” rows may be optimal for my set up. I think it’s a 3 row, but I don’t remember. Anyway, more tinkering needed.
Looking good
Thank you!!!
