Re: 77 Silverado Build thread

Not much done lately. Went on a 90 mile hike in New Mexico for two weeks and then went to Nevada for a week so I haven't been around. Came back and decided to go for a freeway cruise. Pulled into a gas station after about 20 miles for gas and found my rad shooting steam and boiling antifreeze. I think the cap failed.

Went ahead and picked up a 4 core 454 radiator just for extra security (it's much bigger than the plastic/aluminum rad I have now...and it's copper). Also spent all day today fixing my temp gauge since it wasn't working. Found a break in the wire behind the engine but it works now.
