> I appreciate your response and maybe I should be more clear. I was trying
to be as brief as possible. I purchased this car while looking for a 55 or
56 nomad. It was from California(Documented) and in such good shape, I
couldn't resist it. It looks and is better than it rolled off the assembly
line. Unfortunately , I didn't take the time to do a thourough inspection
once I received it her in Georgia last May 2002. I drove it last August in
some traffic and it overflowed some coolant. No big deal at the time as I
just added Coolant mix. A few weeks ago I decided to back-flush and put in
new coolant mix while doing the same with another vehicle. The first time I
drove it I started smelling Coolant and found a leak at the drivers side
head gasket. I also found the temp sensor unplugged at the sensor. So I
don't really know when it first overheated to the point it damaged gasket. I
understand Idiot lights usually go off too late to prevent damage. Anyway,
It is now very cold in m!
> y unheated garage and I was just trying to do minimum quality repair to
resolve untill warmer weather would permit me to posibly replace heads with
possibly better flowing ones along with a 4 barrel upgrade. I'm not looking
to hot rod it. I just want to make it as efficient as possible.
