Because you don't see factory mavericks is why, ESPECIALLY Grabbers. I'll probably do duel exhaust. As soon as I find out why it's overheating. The Cable that broke is the one that runs from the rear passenger side drum to the transfer bar attached to the unibody frame on the pivot.

 

thanks I greatly appreciate all your guys help with this.

 

BAAM! 3 degrees off timing! re-timed, took it out on 270 all the way to 23 and back the car never got over 180 degrees in the cooling system. Thursday morning it'll have new duel exhaust!

 

Sure that has to do with 3° timing retard and not the milder weather we been sending your way lately?

Unless something major was up with your fuel curve to begin with(running very lean)?.. I've never seen such a small change one way or the other result in any major rad temp changes.

 

Here is link for replacement emergency brake cables............

It may have been running lean, if so that was my fault. I curved the new carb to the engine that was out of time. I've been working a lot so I took it to a local mechanic who inspected it and test drove it on the freeway, and said the problem seemed to be corrected. So when around town for hours running errands it was running fine, first trip on the freeway at 70 MPH it went over, at least this is my theory at this point. He ran it two days ago and it was 88 outside and pretty high humidity. Not to mention the exhaust was rotted off at the time of the overheat. So my plan is to put the duel exhaust on thursday and run it the same route I did before, if it over heats I have another problem but the entire coolant system checked out. It didn't act like or look like a blown head gasket. I agree 3 degrees isn't enough, I am going to replace the older rad. cap just for piece of mind. Any other suggestions before I try again?

Thanks for help and info.

well more strife before I get to get back on the road. muffler shop called and said they couldn't do duel exhaust on the car because it has an offset gas tank. The shop seemed to indicate that the grabbers had a center mounted gas tank for duel exhaust but I've never heard of that factory. So I had to take it home reroute the fuel lines and take it back up. Hopefully it'll be done tomorrow morning early. Then on the freeway to check it out completely!

 

No Maverick or Comet ever had a centered gas tank, and none had factory dual exhaust.

The PO of mine installed a "centered" Mustang tank.

 

Yeah, I know, some people think because it's a V8 car and it was from the 70's it could come with duel exhaust. The guy even told me, and I'm really quoting him here "it's tank is offset, for a single exhaust, not like the grabbers with duel exhaust.". I had to explain to him mine was not only a grabber, but the exhaust that fell off was the factory exhaust. another worker suggested it was just ordered that way, I just chuckled. Needless to say I moved the gas line fairly easily, and the duel exhaust should be done tomorrow.

 

Dual exhausts can be placed on our cars without moving or modifying the tank.

Water over the dam at this point. Good luck with your install.

 

Grabber with centered gas tank...$150 option...LOL

 

Yeah I didn't move or modify the tank, I don't have the space in my garage to do that right now anyway with my mustang and Ranchero in a million pieces. So I simply moved the steel gas lines a bit in the driveway and took it back to the muffler shop.

 

Well took it out and got from 3C highway to Obetz Road (11 miles) and then right back, about a mile and a half from the 3C exit It overheated on the freeway again. I don't know, I guess I should start a new thread on why it's overheating. I'm going to take it to another mechanic and have them look at it. If they can't figure it out I'm going to part it out or sell it. I'm not putting a fourth engine in it in 30K miles.

 

It is possible that rust/scale in your engine/cooling system could be floating around and eventually block a passage, thus causing overheating. You pretty well covered everything else, have you had your system flushed out? What about water pump as another member suggested? Possible if impeller is rusted/scaled bad, it could restrict flow...........
