I currently run a direct drive fan, I have not checked the depth of it as of yet to see how far it sits inside the shroud. i went out and bought a big block shrould from a wrecker!

I checked and my thermostat must be working because my rad hoses are getting hot. But i need to change my thermostat any way, so I will change it to a 180 degree stat.

And would anyone have any idea what my timing should be set at? And i am currently running a 600 cfm edelbrock carb, with manual choke. i have misplaced my manual for it so how would i check the mixture? I have not pulled the plugs yet but i plan on doing them with the thermostat.

And I am leaning towards buying doug thorley headers has anyone ever used these type of headers? And when I get more info on headers i would like to know what kind of exhaust i should run? 3" or smaller, what type of mufflers sound good? and should I get the muffler shop to put in one of the "H" pipe things between my dual exhaust?

Thanks for all the info, keep it coming cause i am going to need it when i start busting out the wrenches and put the big beast on the hoist for some Chevy tuning! Ha!

Matty!
