    What gears are suggested

    Okay, did I mention I am completely ignorant about cars and just starting to get into details, what is a Reisch 170* and a killer chiller, what does that do for an engine and while I got your ear, what foes it mean when someone uses the term PO and the boost of whatever. Really appreciate the...

    What gears are suggested

    When people talk about boost or something PO, what are these terms meaning? Do you mind if I bounce things off of you, I am a newbie and there is so much to digest, like the guy discussing a certain thermostat and cooling reservoirs for the radiator? Thanks Bob

    What gears are suggested

    I did not realize how much you can do to a car and with me being a complete novice, it looks like you have a great grasp on what you are doing. I had a cooling question I have just put on line. Perhaps I should check the thermostat. I have seen the reservoir you mentioned, what does that do to...

    Engine Cooling

    I have been rebuilding a 98 Cobra and have noticed the engine to become very warm. I have not tested temperature or would not know what to use. My radiator looks stock and perhaps I should replace it for being so old and get the new aluminum ones with the fans, they come one or two fans. Can...

    Thank you for the reply. It seems everyone agrees, that you need to put in another gear like 5th, then slide into reverse, then there is no more grinding. It must be a quirk with this model. ‘’But, thanks for the response….. Bob
