Hi Guys,

my problem with lacking power above 3000 rpm will be solved soon, as we discovered that the throttles only opened after i pushed down the throttle (in the front) for at least 2 inches. So full throttle opened up the throttles in the carbs for no more than 40%. Thanks for your info!
Now i read in Stephens post that he has a head temp of around 200. My head temp reaches around 425 driving on highways, 65 mph, outside temp between 65 and 70 degrees. Oil temp is steady on 180.
Is his head temp low or mine too high?
Car is a '64 vert, 110 4-speed, spyder dash with oil temp gauge, external oil cooler (Clarks), lower shrouds off.
