Also look for rusty head gaskets. By Dave Shoe - 05/22/2001 5:49:26 PM; IP 12.2.11.131 You didn't mention why you think the engine is overheating - different symptoms will suggest different solutions. Also, did the overheating problem start long after you installed the Edelbrock pump, right at the time you installed the Ed pump, or was it a problem prior to installing the Ed pump. If the head gasket is rusted, it can open up the restriction near the front of both heads which is intended to direct most coolant toward the back of the block. and into the rear of the head. When this restriction is sufficiently rusted away, coolant will tend to flow from the water pump, into the front of the block, directly into the front of the head, and out the intake manifold, with onlt minimal flow going toward the rear of the engine and rear of the heads.

This thread, so far...
