That actually answers a Q I had, I had thought it a bit odd that my Sparco eyes threaded right in to the existing stuff. I figured maybe because the sparcos...
Couple of Q's on that, JD- since I had originally looked at that location, and decided it wouldn't work on mine due to conflict with future s-sharger...
Hey guys, Ill mark it on my calaneder as well, I live up in NY but I regularly get together with Scott and a few other friends dwon in Philly. Hopefully Ill...
OK, well, we all know MOST of the ins&outs of the Scorpion cooling system by now, but I have this odd situation which occurs sporadically under certain...
This ALWAYS happened to mine till I got the radiator rodded out and re-soldered. Since then, no problems. You said that your rad "appeared" to be good. This...
I get some small bubbles around the tube on top as well. I'm thinking that the puking might be due to the loss of pressure after parking the car, causing the...
Chris: What do you mean "gone bad" i.e. leaks thorugh the seal? I have a small air leak at the top tube which probably has the same effect (bleeding off...
... nope. weight of the hood and the angle prevent movement. ... not quite clear by what you mean as hinge side. Lid hinge or strut hinge. The bottom strut...
... Make sure the cap seal isn't torn. Also, is this a *new* cap or an older one? If new, is it the right one? If older, is the spring still good? I guess...
... Meant lid hinge. Stock is soooo flimsy. looks like you have some sort of rail welded onto it to support your cooler setup.etc? I'm wondering if that...
All I can say is that if you have never had this done it's probably time. Just take it down to a shop and have them disassemble it, rod it out, and re-solder....
The seatbelt anchor bolts were all metric on my '76, I just took them off, they were all grade 8.8 bolts of varying lengths for the different mounting points,...
... They were 8.8 and marked Klippan. and they were not metric. The actual threads were indeed 7/16 - 20 and not M12 x 1.25 . If you take a metric thread gauge...
I agree with DJ, it's the radiator. Both of my 77's started to develop overheating / collant leak problems 2 years ago. Both had white deposits on the outside...
... I didn't read all of the replies. If it hasn't already been mentioned. I thought I'd throw this out for reference. The seat belt bolts are required to be...
My shop re-soldered all the joints with no problem I think it cost me about $60 bucks and the car has run REALLY cool ever since.DJ Richardswww.lancisti.net---...
I drove my car from Denver to Wichita 7 hours at 80 plus and it did not over heat. Later I pulled the radiator and the shop opened it up and it was 50%...
I'm listening to both you guys, because you both have a lot of experience with these cars, and I have confidence that you both know what you are talking about....
Here is my take, and I’ve had some recent cooling issues that I believe have been solved. Couple more track days should confirm it. I agree with the...
Will, The Scorp uses a "pump assisted thermo-syphon" to quote the manual. Yes coolant does flow with the engine off. In my experience the puking is initially...
I'm not really certain why it solved my problem. I really never put a lot of thought into it. However, EVERYTHING else on my cooling system was brand new and...
A leaking / weeping radiator cannot maintain pressure thus the boling point of the water coolant mix is lowered. The partially plugged radiator issue causes...
... Don't have a direct answer for you, but something to point out. Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics are nearly identical studies. Heat *flows* like a fluid...
Yeah, Tom, BUT: As soon as the boiling starts, the pressure is instantly raised again- which should instantly raise the boiling point. The pressure obviously...
Will, Boiling will increase the volume of what is in the system, coolant and coolant vapor (boiling coolant) The volume of this mixture will instantly increase...
Back and forth back and forth,,,,,what a joy,,,NEW wiper motor for Scorpion windshild wipers :) Thanks Chad....They work like my cadillac wiperes..well almost,...
