My engine started stalling, hesitating, and misfiring really bad Friday night... and then at a Stop Light Lots of Steam poured out the Hood!
Problem: Top Radiator Hose Burst filling the Spark Plug holes with coolant and caused misfiring! Ha ha! Was actually able to 'temporarily' fix it in about 3 minutes; while i wait for the new hose to arrive!
Love old Sports Cars, there is Always something exciting happening!

Rebuilt the throttle body and replaced the intake boot.
Not sure my air valve is in the right position as the recommendation was 2.5 turns out and when I pulled the TB it was much less. Idle was strong at about 900RPM, no hesitation. With high revs, the rpms seemed to "jump" or "bounce" just before it dropped down to idle speed. Might replace the venturi seals too this weekend.
I'm just happy to get it running again and the throttle not sticking!

Bled the clutch, installed the starter, installed the 3" Lindsey exhaust with the Tial wastegate. Got the refinished wheels put on.
Oh yeah, pulled one of the studs out of the 3" SFR downpipe while installing the exhaust.
and
Guess I get to fix that tomorrow.
What do you guys think of the "connection" between the stud and the downpipe. It's the tiny bit of shiny metal you see around the top of the stud.

Tapped the downpipe and got the exhaust bolted up to it, connected all the A/C lines, installed the KISS oil cooler, installed the radiator and fans, and installed the upgraded light kit I got from KP.

Put new control arms, busings and ball joints in on Wednesday night. New strut inserts as well. Got it aligned today and a new fuel filter. Handles like a brand new car. The difference is crazy. The old ball joints and bushings were originals, still riveted in there.
