KDizzle replied to the thread Overheating Rebuilt 350.Update: Timing and idle appear to be on point. Purchased a temp gun from Harbor Freight. At idle after about 15 mins, thermostat housing... -
Yes, same instructions. The problem with the edelbrock will be that a factory fuel pump is likely too much fuel pressure for it, so it...

KDizzle replied to the thread Overheating Rebuilt 350.Wow, lot of great information. I’ve got a Edelbrock 1406 Performer Series. Similar instructions?
-
Now that initial cam break in is done, go through and adjust idle speed and idle mixture. That might help a lot as well.
-
KDizzle replied to the thread Overheating Rebuilt 350.Will do. I’ll do some research and give it a shot. I did lower idle…just haven’t messed with mixture. Nervous about messing with carb.
-
KDizzle replied to the thread Overheating Rebuilt 350.Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll give it a go once I get my coolant system locked in the next day or so.

Verify that the timing isnt retarded. Anywhere around 10 initial or so would be a good starting point.
-
230 isn't bad and yes, running just straight water at idle can be a problem. Water will boil at 212 degrees at sea level and atmospheric...
-
Rust also has a good point. Now is the time to check idle mixture and timing. If you are too rich or too lean it will overheat. If you...

4 degrees ATDC is wild. That will not help at all in most cases. Try moving timing to 4-10 degrees BTDC and it might help a lot.

KDizzle replied to the thread Overheating Rebuilt 350.Yeah, wasn’t expecting that. Adjusted to 10 BTDC and it sounds much better. Temp still climbed to about 215 (guessing on stock gauge)...

KDizzle replied to the thread Overheating Rebuilt 350.Timing is retarted at -4.

KDizzle replied to the thread Overheating Rebuilt 350.Update: New reverse water pump, reverse fan clutch and reverse fan installed. With front end lifted; using water; no thermostat; upper...

Even with the wrong fan though, you're just talking a stationary break in? How hot is it where you're at? I'm kinda thinking even with...

When I have broken them in on a stand.... no fan, no thermostat, radiator hooked up, output from intake to heater dumping on ground...
