I'd take the stat out & fill it w water only & see if that takes care of it. The slow warmup from no stat and no corrosion resistance from no antifreeze neither of these 2 omissions will hurt you for one day. then if that's it get a stant 180 stat and good ole green antifreeze (diff opinions on AF but green stuff works for me) & button her up and adding coolant till you reach the stat housing then putting on the stat will help w air pockets

I may have made a big boo boo then, wehn it overflowed last week i believe it had antifreeze in it and i topped it off with water after the overspill. Can that affect the internals of the engine case?

unfortunately after i pushed it to my house my sister left the keys in the ignition with the car on and killed the brand spankin new battery. I'm waiting fro my mom to come home so we can drag a few tanks to the gas station and hopefully jump it right up.
Will i be able to hear the timing if it changed at all?
yah thats her picked it up from a guy in Orlando off craigslist for 1300 sweet deal up until Monday. i had known about the carb issues prior to purchasing and the turn signals were just something i thought i'd have some fun with.
Trying to find some OE seats but not too many late models around with a console, after i get my grants it's off to the paint shop she goes, trying to get everything situated until then.

Well it seems the water pump is shot, i guess last time i checked was not actually flowing but instead boiling! I should probably cut the and relax on the . What water pump would you suggest for my application? looking at the milodon or the GMB both high volume only 10 dollar differnce but is it a brand name factor?

sounds like you be hangin with the "OLDMAN" best to check after sitting over night fill to cold full level,start engine and run at idle for 15 mins or so when it good and warm..t-stat open you will see the water move/flow I use the HD stock 8 vane wp with the 5/8 shaft and large bearings they are on the HD cooling package for cop engines it will have ribs in stead of the gun holes alog the shaft housing it should have the recovery tank hooked up and the rad cap should have the valve it will push coolent out of the rad and the recover it as it cools down by a vac type system this is normal as long as it sealed and working properly and not pizz on the ground the pumps have a weep hole on the lower side of the shaft that will lleak water also causing a low rad and over heat problem

there seemed to be no movement just some chemical eyes floating around.
I guess i should replace the tstat just to be cautionary aswell.
What t-stat/water pump combo is good idea if i currently don't have a radiator fan,no clue the current radiator size. i keep reading stant of milodon just trying to keep budget and stay cool.

my camera takes fairly large photos, i've uploaded them into an album on photobucket you can view it HERE.EDIT: if you are looking at the wiring, the blue wire gets tunneled into the green wire on the fan housing assembly and i think that metal thing is supposed to be a temperature probe but its just mounted onto the radiator with the c clamp looking thing that is insulated with foam in the picture on summit

this may be true however at this time being a 19 yr old college student relying on the government and prepaid college terms, i am trying to minimize my budget to the smallest degree so if i can fix the current fan system i presume i will be happy. Is there really an improvement between a clutch fan and an electrical fan?
so far my bill runs me to a new water pump and thermostat. adding a clutch and fan may break teh bank plus i dont even know what else i would need.

You can get the thermostat and water pump at any local parts store. Why are you looking at the high priced stuff at summit? You don't have a race car. Most every thing you will need for that car can be purchased at the local parts store.
i truly didn't know the line between what auto zone would and wouldn't carry. Regardless they have to special order the WP and is just about the same price as summit.
Are the belt lengths written on them? I have some fraying and this is as good a time as any to replace them.
Scratchin i'll shoot you a pm.

Unless the water pump is leaking I'll bet money it's not bad. I have never seen a water pump rust the impellers off.
CHANGE THE THERMOSTAT FIRST! This is a cheap fix. If the stat is stuck, the water pump is not circulating water to the radiator.
He never said if it was leaking or not, probally never looked close enough to know.
If it ain't leaking, it's working. lol Like you said.
Too bad our government won't fix our cars yet.

190 stat Slant is good, Robertshaw used to be a nice piece, had bid slots to let lots of flow happen. You need an engine driven fan. Will save you a ton of heart aches. Take Sracthin up on his offer
I want my fair share
